Apps Make Insurance Easier
So, picture this. You’ve just had an accident and now you need to document everything for your claim. Your glove box is stuffed with unnecessary papers and you can’t find your insurance card. Now you have to dig through everything to find it. But wait! You don’t have a pen and paper to write the other guy’s information down. You’re stressed out from the initial accident, now searching you car for everything you need, and now you realize you forgot to pay your insurance premium. Sound like a nightmare? Well, it could happen.
Luckily, most insurance companies have apps for smart phones. While you might now be able to find your card right away, most people always know where their phone is. With the app, you can instantly pull your card up on the screen.
But that’s not all. Many apps allow you to pay your insurance directly from your phone, making it easier to keep your policy up to date. If you’re the type of person that remembers that you forgot to pay your insurance while standing in line at the grocery store, you can do it right there.
Now back to the accident nightmare that was proposed earlier. With a Smartphone app, not only can you find your card, but it makes it easier to document the accident, take photographs and record the other person’s information. When you are shaken (and possibly injured) at an accident scene, easier is always better, and what could be easier than an app. … and best of all, they’re usually free!
So, before you have your next accident (lets face it, even safe drivers have them from time to time), go to your phone’s app store and look up your insurance company. Now you’ll be prepared, and perhaps the next time something happens, it will be less of a nightmare.
