Buying a car? Download the NRMA Insurance Car Inspector application first
22/06/2010
NRMA Insurance today launched Car Inspector, a free application (app) for the iPhone.
This handy app contains all the latest safety, security and environmental information for most new cars available in Australia. It provides a search and comparison tool for vehicles tested and rated by the NRMA Insurance Research Centre or other independent organisations and allows users to request a quote for their car insurance by placing a call directly to NRMA Insurance.
NRMA Insurance Head of Research Robert McDonald is confident that by bringing this wealth of information to consumers’ fingertips will help them when they’re in the market for a car.
“Many Australians are missing out on potentially life-saving technology innovations like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can help prevent a crash. Drivers should be mindful of things like crash performance and driver visibility, as these are vital considerations for anyone buying a new car.
“NRMA Insurance Car Inspector enables drivers to read about most new cars in the Australian market while they’re on the go, wherever they are. It’s like having an expert with them in the car yard.”
The app is user friendly, allowing users to search for specific car models or scroll through set categories including small, medium and large cars as well as people movers and luxury cars. There is extensive information about each vehicle including safety ratings, fuel consumption, estimated annual fuel cost, environmental score, anti-theft rating and much more.
Users can compare a vehicle to the best in class of each category at the click of a button. It is also possible to compare multiple vehicles, swiping left or right to view different vehicles in portrait or landscape setting.
NRMA Insurance Car Inspector is available free of charge from Apple’s iPhone App Store.
