HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC,
CENTRAL HALL, BOOTH 10417 – VOXX Electronics Corporation (VEC),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation
(NASDAQ: VOXX), today announced a dramatic expansion of the Car
Connection Insurance Discount Program that now includes 16
participating insurance carriers. This program is a result of
VOXX International Corporation's direct collaboration with Agnik, a
data company for connected cars with a strong portfolio in the
insurance market. This program will allow more consumers to
save hundreds of dollars on their car insurance and it is all
included in the Car Connection subscription service. Typically an
average consumer can save up to 10-20% on their annual policy,
which could equate to hundreds of dollars of savings per
year. Savings may vary for each user.
"Car Connection was the first company to launch a retail
after-market program back in June
2014 with the support of three insurance carriers," said
Dan Murphy, VP of Telematics, VOXX
Electronics. "Today we announce the inclusion of 16 new
insurance carries in the program that allows consumers to access a
unique insurance discount program to help save on their insurance
costs. Millions of drivers are already saving money from this type
of program but it was not readily available at retail channels
until now."
Once a consumer purchases the Car Connection system and
subscribes to the service plan, they can then join the Insurance
Discount Program. It's simple: Users need only to register
with any of the participating insurance carriers to let them review
their driving habits for at least 50 miles with the Car Connection
device. After they have driven the required miles the
selected insurance carrier will send them a quote for a new
insurance policy.
Car Connection provides many other services and benefits such as
convenience and diagnostic services that help improve vehicle and
driver performance. The self-installed OBD II offers a
combination of services that include safety, savings, security and
remote services for less than $10 per
month and does not require an activation fee or contract. Car
Connection can also offer consumers other saving opportunities with
fuel reports and vehicle health services, all available as part of
the monthly subscription fee.
The Car Connection Insurance Discount will also be using Agnik
Vyncs™ powered services.
The new insurance carriers participating in the program will be
launched on Car Connection's website by February 1, 2015.
