Esurance has released an enhanced iPhone application for both its customers and car insurance shoppers. Available free in Apple’s App Store, the Esurance mobile app has several features which enables customers to manage their policy. Plus it’s one of the first iPhone apps to provide car insurance quote estimates.
Shopping for Car Insurance
The Esurance mobile app offers online quote functionality in an iPhone app. Shoppers can receive a quote estimate in approximately two minutes. The iPhone app saves the quote, allowing the customer to purchase over the phone. Esurance Chief Information Officer Phil Swift said, “We take pride in our ability to make shopping for car insurance easier. And with so many people migrating to smart phones, tailoring our quoting functionality to the iPhone is a benefit to consumers and demonstrates our commitment to technology innovation.”
Shoppers can also access the accident toolkit, which is packed with helpful information on what to do if they’re ever in an accident and steps to take to be prepared for one, just in case.
Managing an Esurance Policy
Customers can access ID cards, view their coverage, and make payments. But the app really shines when a claim situation arises. Esurance Mobile can find preferred repair shops in the customer’s neighborhood, using Google maps, and allows customers to report some claims entirely through their iPhone.
The Esurance car insurance app also provides a one-of-a-kind repair monitoring feature. Customers with a car in the shop are able to see daily photos of their repairs throughout the process. These photos can be shared instantly, and customers can contact the repair facility directly via email or phone with any questions. They’ll also be able to contact their dedicated claims rep right from the app.
