The Good
- Coverage and enhancements
- Policy management
- Auto discounts
Coverage and Enhancements
In addition to providing standard coverage to their clients (such as collision or liability coverage), Kemper Direct has developed coverage and enhancement plans to provide a more comprehensive coverage. There are three different plans and coverage options. All can be purchased if desired. Coverage and enhancement plans include: Protect Your Wallet, Protect Your Sanity, and Protect Your Family plans. Details for what each plan covers can be found below in the more information section.
Policy Management
In years past, auto insurance customers had to reach out to a claims specialist following an accident in order to get their money they need to cover various costs. However, with Kemper Direct, a customer can manage their account entirely online. That means bills can be paid, policy terms can be reviewed and renewed, and claims can be filed at any time. Claims can also be tracked as they go through the various steps leading up to reimbursement.
Auto Discounts
In an effort to make premiums and monthly payments more affordable, Kemper Direct provides a number of auto insurance discounts. That being said, the customer must be eligible and meet various requirements for the discounts to be applied. Discounts include: multi-policy discount, network discount, free-a-tree discount, happily married discount, preferred payer discount, retro loyalty discount, and the safe and sound discount.
