UK insurer Covéa Insurance has launched its direct motor offering under its Provident Insurance brand.

The company revealed last year that it would be launching a direct motor proposition in early 2016.

The new product has been launched initially with price comparison site Confused.com.

Covéa Insurance’s retail distribution director Carol Geldard said: “Ever increasing numbers of consumers are choosing to research and buy their motor insurance online and our proposition has been specifically tailored for that market.

“Our investment in creating a direct business is about ensuring that we maintain our position as a successful motor insurer.

“Having a direct route to market will materially add to our access to data and insight, which will ultimately enhance our overall motor proposition across all our distribution channels.”
