Auto Trader boosts car insurance prospects

Friday, 29 May 2009 12:00

Junction and Auto Trader are to continue a partnership which has seen them provide car insurance for second hand vehicles.

The companies struck a deal two years ago which meant Junction, an affinity insurer and part of the BGL Group, provided tailor-made car insurance for Auto Trader to offer customers.

The bespoke features included in the policy included a 30-day mechanical breakdown warranty which Junction hailed as being ideal for people insuring a second-hand car.

Now the two companies have stuck a deal to continue the partnership until 2014. It means Auto Trader's quote engine - Auto Trader Compare - will be enhanced to help customers search for more than 400 insurance prices

Tom White, head of partnerships for Auto Trader, said: "Our strapline is 'the world of cars made easy' and our insurance aggregator plans are part of delivering this world for consumers."
