The leadership of the two companies noted that the partnership is motivated by substantial growth in the car financing market in Kenya, with a 15 percent annual increase in vehicle loans and a 10 percent rise in vehicle imports.
“This partnership between Autochek and Turaco directly responds to this market demand by offering a bundled service that integrates vehicle financing, insurance, tracking, and maintenance, all under one digital platform.”
The partnership aims to make vehicle insurance more affordable and manageable for Autochek's customers by offering monthly payment plans instead of traditional annual premiums. This approach allows car owners to better manage their expenses without sacrificing the extensive coverage that comprehensive insurance provides, according to a joint statement released by the two companies.
Turaco added that the monthly payment option is a relief for aspiring car owners, as it empowers more vehicle owners to protect their assets while still enjoying affordability.
“At Turaco, we're transforming the insurance industry by making it accessible and attainable for everyone. Our vision is powered by partnerships with like-minded companies like Autochek, who are equally committed to using technology to create seamless customer experiences,” Turaco CEO Ted Pantone explained.
“By combining our tech-driven approach with flexible monthly installments, we empower Autochek to offer their customers top-tier insurance access and an exceptional experience.”
