Insurance-technology upstart Lemonade is rolling out an auto-insurance business and plans to track driving behaviors to tailor individual rates
Insurance-technology upstart Lemonade Inc. is rolling out an auto-insurance business, moving beyond renters, home, pet and life-insurance policies into one of the most competitive parts of the industry.
The New York-based firm will rely heavily on telematics to size up risk in applicants, company co-founder and co-Chief Executive Daniel Schreiber said in an interview. At least initially, it also will use some traditional rating factors, such as age, gender and credit scores, the firm said. The product is now available in Illinois and sales will begin in other states soon, it said.
