BGL Group taps the RAC as underwriting partner

Breakdown cover provider the RAC will be underwriting BGL Group’s motor and home legal expenses insurance (LEI) business after its legal services division was appointed as preferred underwriter partner. BGL, the name behind comparison giant comparethemarket.com, offers LEI products to nearly three million motor and household customers within its insurance, distribution, and outsourcing business. The RAC unit, meanwhile, provides legal services to over five million customers and is able to underwrite its own LEI policies. “It was clear throughout the tender process that the RAC was well positioned to manage an LEI book as big as ours, spanning both motor and home policies for many high-profile brands,” noted Ursula Gibbs, insurance and aggregation director in BGL’s insurance, distribution, and outsourcing division. We are confident the RAC is the right partner to work with us on the next stage of our LEI journey.
