Auto Insurance from Google?

Here at Cash 4 Cars Akron, we continue to monitor new developments in the auto industry. As a cash for wrecked cars buyer and junk my car provider in Summit County, we allow you to scrap a car for cash 7 days a week. Those looking to sell a junk car are often those that lack full-coverage auto insurance at the time of a wreck. According to an article on wsj.com named ‘Google Wants to Sell You Auto Insurance’ that was posted on January 8, 2015, Google is experimenting with promoting auto insurance. The highlights are as follows: “Google is plotting a move into auto insurance in the U.S., including a comparison-shopping site from which users would also be able to buy policies. Forrester Research FORR -0.30% analyst Ellen Carney wrote in a blog post that an entity called Google Compare Auto Insurance Services is licensed to sell insurance in 26 states & is authorized to sell policies in at least one state on behalf of six insurers, including MetLife, Mercury and Viking Insurance. A Google executive recently won authorization to sell insurance through Google Compare as well as through San Francisco auto-insurance comparison site CoverHound, suggesting the two companies are working together. Google already provides auto- and travel-insurance quotes in the U.K., as well as mortgage quotes, and even credit cards. The moves suggest the search giant wants to offer similar services in the U.S., potentially displacing existing middlemen, as it has done in shopping & travel. Google provides its own product-search tools on the Google Shopping website, and increasingly offers specialized flight & hotel booking tools. Greg Isaacs, president of Insurance Solutions at CoverHound, confirmed that Google’s Meredith Stechbart is endorsed on his company’s insurance license, but declined to specify how the two companies are working together. Carney says Google has been working on the insurance offering for more than 2 years. In part, that reflects the state-by-state regulation of insurance in the U.S. In Idaho, for instance, Google Compare is licensed to sell insurance on behalf of three different carriers.  The mobile revolution is putting more pressure on Google to build up vertical search engines for specific categories, since smartphone users are being trained, for instance, to go direct to Amazon’s app to buy products, or Expedia’s app to book a flight or a hotel room. If Google doesn’t provide more efficient services that cater to particular types of searches, it risks being cut out itself.” The complete story is available at this link:
