Further to streamlining the process, all users will also get to choose a DriveU benefit including, DriveU Coins that can be redeemed across services, instant discounts on their next driver booking, and a specially curated car ownership gift box, the company announced.
This strategic collaboration will make the car insurance buying process simpler and more seamless for the customers. With this, DriveU, is one step closer to rewarding the entire car ownership journey with every transaction on the DriveU platform further reducing the cost of owning a car and consolidating the needs of car owners under one roof.
“Motor insurance is one of the most expensive, unrewarding annual purchases a car owner is obligated to invest in, which is why 58% of registered vehicles are insured despite it being mandatory”, said Ashok Shastry, co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of DriveU.
"Ultimately, it’s bittersweet, the only time one benefits is when an unfortunate incident occurs, and DriveU is here to change that with additional ‘DriveU Benefits’ by purchasing through our platform. With our deep tech integration, our users can seamlessly and quickly customise, compare and renew motor insurance plans from all the popular insurance providers and unlike other players get rewarded immediately,” he added.

Hence with just a few clicks, users can now have experts smoothen their insurance purchase process.”
