Temporary Car Insurance Firm Announce New iPhone Application
08 March 2011:  Tempcover, the motor insurance company specialising in temporary car insurance and short term van insurance, has announced the release an iPhone app. The app will be available to download FREE from Apple’s iTunes store and will be compatible with all iPhone and iTouch models. The Tempcover iPhone app has a number of key features including the ability to get a quote or make a claim while on the go.

There is a growing market for such mobile applications but many company-branded apps are simply marketing gimmicks with no real value to an end user.    With the Tempcover app, the unique practical benefit of being able to get a quote and make a claim straight from the phone’s interface, without having to make a call, represents a step in the right direction in terms of functionality and usability. 

The Tempcover app greets users with a home screen from which they can navigate to the various functions via three tabs located on a strip at the bottom of the screen. Navigating the interface is simple and clutter-free, meaning the user can find exactly what they are looking for with a few taps.  The app features a facility for getting a quote and a function that allows you to make a claim on the spot, providing you have a Tempcover one day car insurance policy.

The app should make dealing with claims after an accident much less stressful as it automatically collects the GPS location of the accident and allows the client to upload photos of the incident and any damage using the iPhone’s camera.  Since very few people are at their most composed after an accident, the app also provides a useful prompt list of all the other details that should be gathered:  date and time, purpose of journey, other driver’s name, registration and contact details if required and how the accident occurred. 

Clients can simply enter all this data into their phone, along with an image, and send it straight to Tempcover or save it for submission at a later date. This will cut out much of the worry associated with the claims process and speed things up considerably.
