SMART Insurance – we can help you to realise the opportunity for growth

SMART Insurance represents a natural added-value product to be highlighted as part of every sale. Car owners invariably know that annoying dings and scratches happen – and that all too often they are not the driver’s fault, but it does fall upon the owner to carry the cost or see their pride and joy looking less than its best.

While some customers might point to the cover provided by their ordinary car insurance, the everyday reality is that the ever-larger insurance excesses, often over £500 can make a claim unrealistic. As well as the excess cost, car owners face the potential impact on no claims bonuses and even a hike to their next year’s renewal costs. Finally, there is the sheer time and inconvenience to be considered in making a claim.

While on the face of it, car insurance for minor cosmetic damage is an option, it can often be inappropriate.

Two extra reasons for promoting SMART protection to every customer:

Keeping their car in great condition with SMART protection can help increase the future PX value of a customer’s car. For the same reason, it might mean lower preparation costs for you when that car comes back into stock ready for retailing once again.
The increasing level of PCP and PCH sales. All of these agreements carry ‘fair wear & tear’ conditions; any damage could create some unwelcome end of agreement costs for your customers and endanger that next sale.
