Right Choice Insurance Brokers (RCIB) has selected Howden Driving Data, part of the Howden insurance group, as the telematics provider for its newly relaunched Autosaint brand.
A pioneer in telematics insurance, Autosaint has helped tens of thousands of customers secure cheaper premiums and become safer drivers since 2011 through behavioural coaching and intervention, the firm noted.
This partnership will allow RCIB to revitalise the Autosaint product by leveraging Howden Driving Data’s platform, which uses data science, artificial intelligence, and a wealth of claims data to create highly predictive risk algorithms.
It will also use Howden Driving Data’s feedback app and self-install on-board diagnostics, which enables customers to gain a better understanding of their driving behaviour, and receive feedback and coaching through the app .
Jon Law, Managing Director at Howden Driving Data said: “We are extremely proud of the partnership with RCIB; it’s testament to the investment we have made in our new platform, data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and breadth of offering.
“Our ability to quickly identify driving behaviours, provide personalised feedback, and alert in the event of a crash empowers Right Choice to better understand their customers’ risk profiles, price policies more effectively, and promptly assist customers when needed. The collaboration with such a well-known and innovative brand like Autosaint is highly valued by Howden Driving Data, and we look forward to supporting the Autosaint product in the years to come.”
Darren Joseph, Managing Director at Right Choice commented: “We are delighted at partnering with a global telematics leader and look forward to a close working relationship in the years ahead.
“Over the past decade, telematics has transformed the insurance landscape in the UK. The flexibility of Howden’s solution, combined with data-driven customer insights, allows Autosaint to gain a deeper understanding of its customers, price policies more effectively, and take necessary actions when required”.
