End-to-end motor insurance services sees positive response from customers

“The strong Year-to-date growth for Allianz General is helped on by a strong showing from our motor business segment. Our comprehensive roadside assistance service is truly an A to Z approach, from the moment you phone our Allianz Road Rangers to receiving your repaired vehicle back at home. I believe our philosophy to remove all the tediousness in between for our customers has struck a chord with our consumers who recognise the value of a best-in-class service. This has undoubtedly contributed to an increase in market share as the leading general insurer.” said Sean, who is also CEO of Allianz General.

“We are also ensuring that our products are accessible by all segments of society. This year alone, we have launched five Insurans Rahmah products, which includes affordable insurance solutions for motorcycles and cars. These products also come with complimentary flood benefits which will tremendously help mitigate the damaging effects of flooding that we come to expect towards the end of the year. Our team is also already on standby nationwide for on-the-ground support with claims and towing during this difficult period.” he continued.
