Legal expenses insurance and assistance provider ARAG has been chosen by Hastings Direct to furnish vehicle hire insurance to the firm’s motor clients.

This coverage ensures clients a like-for-like replacement car or van in case of a complete loss of their insured vehicle due to fire, theft, vandalism, or an accident for which they were responsible.

The vehicle hire insurance policy will be offered to over a million Hastings Direct motor insurance customers as an optional add-on to their primary motor policy.

Hastings is currently insuring upwards of 3.4 million customers. This insurance solution offered by ARAG will be accessible to all the company’s motor insurance customers starting from October 21.

“Hastings Direct is a genuinely dynamic, expanding business that shares ARAG’s focus on the customer experience and driving growth digitally. It’s great to be associated with such an exciting brand and we’re looking forward to delivering a solution that really works for their customers,” ARAG corporate business manager George Bladon said.

Earlier this year, ARAG SE revealed that it has signed an agreement regarding the acquisition of D.A.S. UK, ERGO’s legal protection insurance business in the UK.
