MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 10 /CNW/ – RBC
Insurance today announced the launch of a new comprehensive online home and auto insurance
quoting tool. This latest service, accessed through the RBC Insurance Web site
(www.rbcinsurance.com), gives customers across Canada the
ability to get immediate insurance quotes on a variety of home and auto insurance products at their convenience.
“RBC Insurance is committed to enhancing the customer
experience,” said Chairman and CEO of RBC Insurance Jim Westlake. “We believe
our online insurance quoting capability will provide customers with added convenience and value.”
The service is easy to use – customers complete a short
questionnaire and are automatically provided with a quote and reference number. They can
also use the online help center and glossary of insurance terms, which are available to
assist with common questions that could arise while going through the quote process.
Customers are able to get online insurance quotes on the
full range of RBC Insurance home and auto products – everything from motorhomes, boats and
trailers to cottages and rental properties – and the prices are consistent with what
customers would get by calling RBC Insurance directly.
“It is very important to us to ensure that our online
quoting system is friendly, useful and convenient,” said Andrew Rogacki, president
and CEO of the home and auto division of RBC Insurance. “We found that customers
wanted to get accurate online quotes on all their home and auto insurance needs – not just their car.”
“We made sure our system was designed to give
customers the same quote result on whatever home or auto insurance product they want –
regardless of whether they contact us online or on the phone,” said Rogacki. To
become insured, customers simply call RBC Insurance with the reference number they get at
the end of the quote process. Online home and auto insurance rates are guaranteed for 60
days from the date of the quote.
