Embedded Insurance Has Never Looked This Good

  • When customers purchased policies at the dealership, dealers saw an even greater 31% lift, or $501 more per transaction. 

  • For the sixth consecutive quarter, Polly’s top 10 most engaged dealer groups reported stronger back-end gross when insurance was part of the deal, with some seeing lifts of more than 40%. 

  • National quoted insurance rates declined to a median of $187 per month in Q2, easing affordability challenges for car buyers.

Methodology

The dataset comprises of 1,275,192 vehicle retail sales transactions covering the period from January’22 to June’25, with an average 30 thousand transactions per month.

The sales transactions are as reported by 147 distinct dealership groups with between 1 and 42 stores, with the median group reporting more than 3,500 transactions over the 3 years period. As the dealership level variation is a main source of heterogeneity in the data, the data have been imputed using ARIMA models to create  an additional synthetic 50,000 transactions to account for some dealerships not reporting in some months.

The data comes from the Authenticom feed for the dealership groups, with the exception of a large dealership group in the Northeast that has provided a separate file with sales data.  

The dataset covers at least 10,000 transactions for each of 24 distinct vehicle brands, with the top 5 of FORD, TOYOTA, HONDA, KIA and CHEVROLET covering 42% of all sales.

The sales are nationally representative with 90% coming from 23 geographically diverse states with more than 10,000 sales each.

Top 10 Dealership are selected each quarter among the  High-Polly-Engagement dealerships, meaning at least 50 quotes and quoting at least 2% of car buyers each month.

Hard-to-Insure represents the share of car buyers who requested a quote from Polly, and either did not find a single carrier to insure them, or all quotes received where for $800 a month or higher.
