Ulterior Motives?

What if a car insurance company offered to do something for you out of the goodness of their hearts? Would you believe them, or would you think that they are only going to try and sell you something, say auto insurance, as soon as your back was turned or you let your guard down? Well, Plymouth Rock auto insurance is doing a little of both.

They are hoping to get more auto insurance clients while doing something for the good of the state. The state announced that as of December of last year they would no longer be sending out reminder emails and letters to residents reminding them that it was time to renew their drivers’ license, vehicle registration, or inspection sticker. Instead, they discovered that they could save as much as $600,000 by getting rid of the letters.

They need to cut corners and this is where they felt that they could start. But Plymouth Rock auto insurance has since announced that they will take up where the state left off. They say that as a courtesy to drivers they would now start informing anyone who signed up with their free program so that they would know when those due dates were coming up for them.

The auto insurance company encourages drivers to sign up at their site and they will take care of notifying you if you have. They say that yes, they hope to get more auto insurance customers from it, but even if they don’t they know that they will have done the right thing from a consumer standpoint. They know that it is simply the right thing to do for residents.
