Drivers urged to Bingle their cars

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 22, 2008 – Bingle is an insurance alternative that offers motorists the chance to get a quote, buy a policy and even manage their insurance claim online, and save money in the process.

Bingle Executive Manager Nick Bell said with the cost of living on the increase, most Australians were looking to save money without cutting corners on the quality of the products and services they bought.

“At Bingle, we offer low-cost, comprehensive car insurance that is perfect for customers who are happy to use the internet to buy and manage their insurance needs,” Mr Bell said.

“Because Bingle has made it easy for customers to buy and manage their insurance online, we have been able to eliminate the costs attached to operating branches and call centres – and we’re able to directly pass these savings on to our customers.

“But doing a bit more yourself doesn’t mean you have to lose out on all the benefits customers expect from their insurance policy, he said. “Bingle offers a lifetime guarantee on their repairs and up to $20million cover for damage their car may cause. . Bingle understand that just because you want to save money on your car insurance premium, doesn’t mean you want to cut corners on the quality of repairs or limit your cover.

“Also, Bingle is targeted at people who are over 25, who have a good driving record, and who have standard cars that haven’t been modified. That way, our customers know they won't be paying for other people's bad driving or expensive tastes.”

He said customers who switched to Bingle could experience a saving of up to 30 per cent on their existing insurance premium. This could mean $200 or more in the pocket of an average customer in Sydney or Melbourne, where insurance costs can really make an unwelcome dent on the family budget.

“And customers can be reassured that all Bingle policies are underwritten by one of Australia's largest car insurers, so they can be confident that we are able to offer a great product and will be here to stay in the long run.

“Bingle is a great low-cost, car insurance alternative for customers who are happy to let their fingers do the talking and jump online to get hold of a quote for their car insurance, or even to make a claim,” he said.

“And it’s true - you could Bingle your car and still save money.”
