Auto insurance company The General® today announced the launch
of its new and improved mobile app for iOS and Android mobile

from the app.

the phone horizontally to landscape view for convenient access to
insurance verification from anywhere within the app.
- Easy claims. Start a claim or
view claim status all from your device.
- More ways to pay. More options
to pay including scheduling payments, splitting payments and
finding the closest spot to pay in cash (of more than 20,000
locations nationwide).
- Quick quotes. Get a quote
without having to sign in and view previous quotes.
“Our new app is designed to make customers’ lives easier when
they are interacting with The General,” said Kale Sligh, AVP of
Digital at The General. “This is just the beginning. We look
forward to getting customer feedback and continuing to evolve the
digital experience to meet their needs.”
The app launch kicks off with “The $50k Giveaway” sweepstakes
where one lucky winner will win $50,000 to help make their life
easier. The sweepstakes runs from July 16, 2018 – August 26, 2018 –
