Total Be wants to bring an internationally recognised model of car insurance to the UK. It provides insurance for the car, not just for an individual driver. Additionally, it does not take crime data into account that is not specific to vehicles. Thus, this insurance is estimated to provide up to 25% cheaper cover in comparison to UK insurance. Moreover, a UK Government Petition for this insurance model has gained over 60,000+ signatures, which further validates the demand of this model. Total Be believes that it will be able to disrupt the UK market with this car insurance model.
