Daimler Truck Financial Services, Geico launch insurance program
Eligible drivers can save up to 10% on premiums
Daimler Truck Financial Services and Geico are partnering to launch Connected Insurance, a new data-driven program aimed at lowering premiums for Freightliner and Western Star operators while encouraging safer driving.
The initiative, administered through Daimler Truck Insurance Agency, builds on Geico’s DriveEasy Pro platform, according to a Daimler Truck Financial Services (DTFS) release today. It allows customers to voluntarily share real-time Detroit Connect telematics data without installing extra hardware, enabling more accurate underwriting and a streamlined claims process. Eligible drivers can save up to 10% on their commercial vehicle insurance premiums.
“This strategic partnership with GEICO introduces a smart, data-driven insurance option that helps our customers reduce one of their largest operational expenses,” Kevin Bangston, president and chief executive of Daimler Truck Financial Services North America, stated in the release.
The launch comes amid escalating truck insurance costs. Connected Insurance aims to ease that burden by offering accessible, affordable coverage backed by GEICO’s nearly 90 years of experience. DTFS plans to continue expanding its use of Detroit Connect data to enhance financial and ownership solutions across its portfolio.
