Available to Zurich Financial Services and Western Experts in Transportation insurance agents and customers, LimoInsure provides safety and regulation information and enables customers to report a claim online.

KINGSTON, Wash. - Zurich, Switzerland's Zurich Financial Services and Kingston, Wash.-based Western Experts in Transportation have partnered to provide a customized microsite that offers a wide range of tools to both their agents and the limousine companies they insure.

Developed by December 2008, launched in January 2009, and then made available to Western Experts customers, LimoInsure is designed to be a one-stop shop for operators. Customers can visit the site for e-solutions, including information about driver hiring practices, and safety; receive their own virtual consulting report; and report claims through the microsite, said Matt Burbach, assistant vice president of Zurich Financial Services.

The microsite is available to customers of LimoInsure and Western Experts in Transportation.

Additionally, the site has a link to a virtual consulting tool that enables an insurer to log in and get a benchmarking report of their particular industry, said Mark Vereen, senior loss control consultant. The insurer or operator then receives a report with archived loss and intervention information going back five years.

"Any operator of a limousine fleet, large or small, can...see the benchmarks and where the losses are occurring, by loss type...and claims that have come up," Vereen added.
