Assurant, a leading global protection company specialising in safeguarding connected devices, homes, and automobiles, has launched Assurant Vehicle Care Technology Plus, a market-leading vehicle service contract (VSC).
This new product provides comprehensive protection for vehicles’ high-tech components and wear-and-tear items, with an added smartphone repair benefit at no extra cost.
The move addresses the increasing reliance on advanced vehicle technology and mobile devices.
As modern cars integrate more expensive safety features and infotainment systems, consumers need enhanced protection that goes beyond traditional vehicle service contracts.
Assurant recognised this shift and developed a solution that meets these evolving demands.
The firm partners with leading global brands to offer protection services for connected devices, homes, and automobiles.
The company provides innovative solutions designed to enhance customer experiences and offer peace of mind through its diverse range of protection plans.
Assurant Vehicle Care Technology Plus offers coverage for high-tech components such as safety system sensors, adaptive cruise control, and infotainment screens.
Additionally, it includes the Assurant® Device Care benefit, which provides smartphone repair services for common issues such as broken screens, faulty charging ports, battery replacements, and damaged buttons.
This new offering acknowledges the role of mobile devices in vehicle ownership, with many drivers using smartphones as digital keys or for accessing infotainment systems and roadside assistance. By integrating smartphone repair benefits, Assurant Vehicle Care Technology Plus delivers a seamless protection experience for both vehicles and mobile devices.
Beyond technology and smartphone coverage, the product includes wear-and-tear protection for essential vehicle components not covered by manufacturer warranties. Items such as wheel alignment, fuses, headlamp bulbs, belts, hoses, spark plugs, and windshield wiper blades are all included in the plan. Additionally, customers receive complementary emergency roadside assistance, substitute transportation benefits, and travel expense reimbursement.
The digital experience is a key feature of Assurant Vehicle Care Technology Plus, offering an intuitive online platform and companion app. Customers can manage their service contracts, track maintenance, access roadside assistance, and receive updates all in one place.
By offering this comprehensive yet flexible protection plan, Assurant enables dealerships to reconnect with customers who initially declined traditional vehicle service contracts. This alternative plan provides significant value and peace of mind at a more affordable price point.
Jeff Strickland, EVP and president, Assurant Global Automotive, said, “We understand that consumers expect more from their protection plans, and we’re uniquely positioned to deliver this ground-breaking new product. With our diverse range of solutions spanning vehicle coverage and smartphone benefits, Assurant is the only company capable of offering such comprehensive protection.”
Strickland added, “Today’s mobile devices are essential tools for vehicle owners, whether it’s remotely starting the vehicle, connecting to the infotainment system, or even calling emergency roadside assistance. Assurant Vehicle Care Technology Plus bridges the gap between these two worlds, offering a seamless protection experience for vehicles plus the added mobile benefit that comes with Assurant® Device Care.”
