Ford Pro is expanding its commercial auto insurance offering, Ford Pro Insure, to Maryland and Minnesota. Underwritten by Ford Credit’s insurance subsidiary and powered by Pie Insurance, Ford Pro Insure aims to enhance fleet efficiency and productivity for small and medium businesses.
“We’re continuing to bring Ford Pro Insure to new states, giving more Ford Pro customers another piece of the puzzle to have the most efficient and productive fleets they can,” said Craig Carrington, executive vice president of Ford Pro FinSimple, Ford Credit’s brand that includes commercial financing and insurance. “We’re proud to offer Ford Pro Insure to more small and medium businesses that make up so much of our nation’s economy, adding to the end-to-end support delivered through Ford Pro.”
With this expansion, Ford Pro Insure is now available in seven states. Notably, Minnesota is the first state where customers can choose between a standard policy and a usage-based policy leveraging the data capabilities on new Ford Pro vehicles. This innovative policy offers a 10% discount for businesses and allows business owners greater influence over rates as they manage the use of their fleets, empowering them to control their insurance costs. Businesses enrolled in Ford Pro Telematics may be eligible for additional discounts.
Pie Insurance, specializing in small-business commercial insurance, is the managing general agent for Ford Pro Insure customers. It handles sales, distribution, underwriting, servicing, and claims in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. In Minnesota, coverage is available through fordpro.com/en-us/insurance/, with Pie managing all aspects except distribution.
“Ford Pro Insure’s growth is a testament to the demand from business owners for a more data-driven type of auto coverage that also comes with a complete suite of services whenever and wherever they need it,” said Dax Craig, co-founder and president of Pie. “We’re motivated by the great feedback we’ve heard from business owners and our agency partners to continue to enable small businesses to thrive by making commercial auto insurance, along with our other commercial insurance products, affordable and as easy as pie.”
Ford Pro Insure, underwritten by The American Road Insurance Company (TARIC), covers commercial vehicles purchased through Ford Pro and other channels. For more information, coverage can be accessed through fordpro.com/en-us/insurance/, pieinsurance.com, and affiliated Pie agents.
