When you issue an auto insurance policy, critical risk information can be buried deep in the vehicle identification number (VIN), and it’s not simple to extract it all. Without granular details, segmentation can lose refinement, policy rating may be inaccurate, and you could take on hidden exposure based on faulty assumptions.
Many insurers rely on the first 10 digits of the VIN to extract vehicle information, but with the full VIN decoded, you won’t miss out on critical features such as trim level, theft prevention devices, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Knowing each vehicle you insure in granular detail is critical in today’s competitive personal auto market for underwriting, rating, and claims adjustment.
