If you happen to be watching the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, you may have noticed a significant amount of advertisers showcasing their new apps. Started by Geico over a year ago, many insurance companies have looked to make access to your insurance coverage and the ability to make claim easier.
So is an insurance app worth the download?
From The Insurance Scoop’s point of view, absolutely. Here are a couple of things that an insurance app can offer you to help make your life easier.
Easy access to your coverage:
If you have even been pulled over, there is usually a frantic time period where you search for your license, registration and insurance card. It’s not always easy to find these, scattered in your glove box. But with an app, you can be 1 to 2 clicks away from your insurance card. Simply pull our your phone, and there is no need to go diving into random papers in your glove box.
Make a claim with ease:
Get in an accident? Have damage on your home? In the old days, you had to schedule time for a claims agent to come out. This could take days. But with an app, you can immediately upload a photo to get the process started. This helps get the ball moving in what some times can be a process that takes a decent amount of time.
Update your coverage:
Scheduling time to meet with your insurance agent is a hassle. Within an insurance app, you can make changes right away with ease. Need more coverage? Less coverage? Simply make the switch within your app.
So what’s the verdict? Apps make things easier. Whether it’s updating your insurance coverage, showing a police officer your coverage or something else, an app can make your life much easier. The Insurance Scoop gives insurance apps the seal of approval!
