Ford Pro is extending its commercial auto coverage, Ford Pro Insure, to Maryland and Minnesota. Underwritten by Ford Credit’s insurance subsidiary and powered by Pie Insurance, Ford Pro Insure aims to enhance the efficiency and productivity of commercial fleets.
Craig Carrington, executive vice president of Ford Pro FinSimple, Ford Credit’s brand encompassing commercial financing and insurance, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion: “We’re continuing to bring Ford Pro Insure to new states, giving more Ford Pro customers another piece of the puzzle to have the most efficient and productive fleets they can. We’re proud to offer Ford Pro Insure to more of the small and medium businesses that make up so much of our nation’s economy, adding to the end-to-end support delivered through Ford Pro.”
Innovative Insurance Options in Minnesota
Minnesota is the first state where customers can choose between a standard policy and a usage-based policy, leveraging data capabilities on new Ford Pro vehicles. Businesses enrolling in the usage-based policy will receive a 10% discount and gain greater influence over rates as they manage fleet usage. Additional discounts may be available for businesses enrolled in Ford Pro Telematics.
Expanding Coverage Nationwide
Ford Pro Insure, currently available in seven states, provides coverage through fordpro.com/en-us/insurance/, pieinsurance.com, and affiliated Pie agents. Pie Insurance, as the managing general agent, handles sales, distribution, underwriting, servicing, and claims for Ford Pro Insure customers in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. In Minnesota, Pie manages all aspects except distribution.
Dax Craig, co-founder and president of Pie, emphasized the growing demand for data-driven auto coverage: “Ford Pro Insure’s growth is a testament to the demand from business owners for a more data-driven type of auto coverage that also comes with a complete suite of services whenever and wherever they need it. We’re motivated by the great feedback we’ve heard from business owners and our agency partners to continue to enable small businesses to thrive by making commercial auto insurance, along with our other commercial insurance products, affordable and as easy as pie.”
