FREMONT, CA (August 23, 2022) — Way.com is revealing the insights from its insurance survey conducted earlier this month. The #1 auto super app and leading fintech platform for car ownership gathered data from 1,000 participants to dig deeper into how the current state of the economy is affecting drivers.
Most notably, the survey revealed that 34% of people are having a hard time affording insurance, and 33% have noticed an increase in rates. Over 34% stated they are paying $200+ per month with their current policies.
“We’ve never seen dual inflation like this in the 25 years I’ve been in the industry,” explains Ezra Peterson, Sr. Director of Insurance Sales for Way.com. “Now is the time to shop for better rates and reevaluate your insurance relationships, especially if you’ve been with the same carrier for years.”
With 74% of respondents typically staying with their car insurance carrier for five or more years, many people have not recently evaluated their coverage needs and could be overpaying. Car insurance is not one-size-fits-all. Further, laws on coverage vary from state to state and should be customized based on a specific person’s needs.
Thanks to Way.com’s various partnerships, drivers can choose from over 200 insurance carriers for the best rates and even receive auto refinancing, which can easily save them over $100 per month.
Binu Girija, CEO and Founder of Way.com, adds, “Our goal at Way.com is to be every car owner’s full-service platform, allowing them to save the most money while still protecting their vehicles.” He continues, “Car ownership should be affordable for all Americans.”
