HONDA DRIVES AWAY WITH AVIVA ON NEW MOTOR DEAL

Honda UK has announced today a new personal lines partnership deal which appoints Aviva – the UK’s largest general insurer – as its sole supplier of Honda Car Insurance.

As well as offering Honda Car Insurance, Aviva also provides a five day drive-away insurance policy to every buyer of a new or approved used Honda vehicle bought from one of its 150 UK franchise dealers.

Aviva will underwrite, administer and provide claims service delivery for the car insurance policies.

Philip Crossman, Managing Director for Honda, UK, said: “Honda is committed to delivering a premium service to our customers and with the new Aviva partnership we can deliver this to an even higher standard within our private insurance sector”.

Phil Bayles, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Aviva, said: “We’re thrilled to be given the opportunity of working with Honda – what is undoubtedly a powerful, well-known and well-respected brand.

“It’s a great chance to showcase the expertise, experience and innovation within our UK personal lines car insurance business. It’s also an important step forward in achieving our own aspirations for sustainable growth across our partnerships and UK general insurance business this year.”
