Ask a question
Most car insurance companies are owned by the same parent company and when one phones them, they appear to be utilising the same platforms (phone response and questions asked).
How different are they in reality? Do they share data between each other when the person making the inquiry has also made similar inquiries with another one or more of the companies in the ‘group’?
Hi Peter,
I believe you’re referring to the same underwriters, but with different insurance brands. Is that correct? It’s true that some insurance companies do share the same underwriters.
If you wish to learn more, it’s best you get in touch with an insurance brand and ask them directly about this, including how they handle customer data.
Regards,
James
