General Motors and SAIC announced on Wednesday that they would be partnering up to establish SAIC Motor Insurance Sales Co., Ltd., otherwise known as INSAIC.
INSAIC will be the primary auto insurance provider for Chinese owners of Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet models purchased from Shanghai GM. The partnership will allow customers to buy auto insurance directly at the dealerships from which they purchase their vehicles, giving them instant coverage the second their vehicle leaves the lot.
