Car with built-in insurance: ERGO Mobility Solutions and Cazoo launch cooperation in Germany

ERGO Mobility Solutions (EMS), ERGO’s automotive and mobility subsidiary, and the British online car dealer Cazoo will be cooperating on the German market in the future. With their “Easy Start insurance”, the partners will also be presenting a new product that fully embeds motor insurance into the digital buying process.

“The new product is a real innovation in the German used-car market and means considerable simplification of the buying process”, says Karsten Crede, Member of the Board of Management of ERGO Digital Ventures AG and responsible for ERGO Mobility Solutions. He adds: “We’re convinced that buying a car and arranging insurance shouldn’t be any different to buying other products on the internet.”

Used cars with integrated fully comprehensive insurance
With “Easy Start insurance”, customers will have the possibility of buying a car with built-in motor insurance in the future. The cost of the integrated insurance solution is covered by Cazoo. This will make buying a car a one-stop shopping experience. This optional, free offer for customers includes motor insurance for the first few days after the car is delivered. After that, customers can arrange their own motor insurance through the insurtech company nexible, with the simple click of a mouse. nexible is the ERGO Group’s digital insurer offering fully digital motor insurance with excellent service.

Real added value for customers
With their “Easy Start insurance”, ERGO Mobility Solutions and Cazoo have created real added value for all their customers. The solution enables buyers to concentrate fully on testing their vehicle after delivery, instead of having to worry about insurance and registration. “Easy Start insurance” keeps these bureaucratic processes away from customers, thus placing the focus on the buying experience and the vehicle.

Long-term partnership
The launch of “Easy Start insurance” marks the start of a long-term, innovative cooperation between EMS and Cazoo. “Through this cooperation, we are underscoring our ambition to be the leaders in Germany in developing and offering the most modern digital and integrated motor insurance solutions”, says Crede. “In our cooperation with Cazoo, we see further potential to integrate insurance more deeply into the car platform, in order to be able to better address customer needs and offer an even more convincing customer journey.”
