Business Wire

Compare.com is set to begin integration with MetLife Auto & Home, which will soon give compare.com users the opportunity to buy car insurance policies from the new MetLife Auto & Home MyDirect^SM portal.

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Compare.com has begun to add MetLife Auto & Home onto their website, which will soon give compare.com users more car insurance options to compare. MetLife Auto & Home will be offering their MetLife Auto Standard^SM product on compare.com, which is their purely online car insurance option offered through their new MetLife Auto & Home MyDirect^SM(“MAH MyDirect”) online experience.

Compare.com is the first and largest true auto insurance comparison website in the United States, with millions of auto insurance quotes being served to customers since the website’s launch in 2013. Users simply enter their information once to receive quotes from over 40 of the leading insurance carriers in the country. What makes compare.com unique is that the insurance quotes offered on their website are accurate quotes received directly from insurance companies, rather than estimates. Customers may buy the exact policy offered on compare.com directly from the insurance carrier of their choice.

“Working with MetLife Auto & Home to offer their new and innovative experience and product on compare.com just makes sense for us both,” said compare.com CEO Andrew Rose. “Compare.com’s goal is to innovate the insurance market by making online shopping for car insurance easy, while MetLife Auto & Home is doing the same with MAH MyDirect by offering people the opportunity to purchase and service their policies 100% online. We’re confident that this partnership will bring a very popular insurance option to compare.com customers.”

MAH MyDirect is a new online portal that was launched by MetLife Auto & Home in the fall of 2015 in eight states, with a full roll out expected by the end of 2016. Compare.com and MetLife Auto & Home are working closely together to integrate MAH MyDirect with compare.com throughout 2016 in every state as it becomes commercially available. With MAH MyDirect, customers purchase and control their policy fully online and can even file a claim online. All policies are underwritten and rated by MetLife Auto & Home, giving customers the unprecedented ability to self-serve, while still being supported by professional insurance expertise.

Mick Noland, Senior Vice President, Product Management at MetLife Auto & Home, added that “MetLife Auto & Home views the partnership with compare.com as an expansion in how customers can reach us. Compare.com is building a customer-centric experience for the purchase of insurance, and we believe our MAH MyDirect experience and product offerings fit perfectly with customers leveraging compare.com.”

Compare.com is targeting to offer MetLife Auto & Home’s portal and products to its consumers by early summer. To find out if MAH MyDirect is right for you, compare prices at that time on www.compare.com.
