The ABI has said that millions of motorists will be able to arrange their motor insurance quicker and more conveniently due to a proposed change in the law.
The Department for Transport announced plans today to enable motor insurance certificates to be issued electronically. Currently the law requires these certificates to be sent by insurers to policyholders by post.
Justin Jacobs, the ABI's head of motor insurance, said: “This is good news for customers and insurers. Over half of UK households are now online, and this will enable them to arrange motor insurance more speedily. This will be especially helpful when buying and taxing a vehicle quickly. It will also help insurers provide a faster, more cost-effective service to their customers.”
