Estonian Post gets into the driving seat

Customers using Estonian Post branches will now have the opportunity to purchase car insurance in store. Estonian Post and IIZI Insurance Broker have signed a cooperation agreement, under which different companies can now offer motor vehicle insurance service via post offices.

Head of Estonian Post postal services division Jaan Vainult, said: “So far we have trained more than 200 post office employees. The list of post offices offering the service can be found on the Estonian Post website. Post offices providing the service will be recognised by the IIZI stickers on the post office door.”

Estonian Post said the main interest will be in rural areas where insurance companies are sparsely represented.

Today, 177 post offices can provide the insurance service, but the company aims to expand this service to every branch in the country.

Customers can choose the most suitable offer from seven different insurance companies and pay for the policy on the spot.

“Cooperation with Estonian Post is a good option for those who do not have internet access at home,” said Irmeli Karja from IIZI Insurance Broker.
