KYMCO USA, a longtime leader in quality, fuel-efficient
scooters, motorcycles and ATVs, has announced
an agreement with Progressive, the #1 name in
motorcycle and scooter insurance. With Progressive
on board, KYMCO dealers will now be able to
get insurance for new customers with a phone
call or at the web site www.progressive.com/KYMCO.
"This partnership with Progressive is
a win-win for both dealers and people purchasing
our products," said Steve Lazoff, Director
of Sales, KYMCO USA. "We're going to make
getting insurance quicker and easier, especially
for buyers who come in on evenings or weekends."
"As the largest seller of motorcycle and
scooter insurance in the country, it makes sense
for us to partner with a fast-growing company
like KYMCO," said Marcy Gray, Motorcycle
Product Manager for Progressive. "We want
to make it easy for riders to buy affordable
insurance on all KYMCO models, and to really
understand what they're buying. Progressive
representatives are available 24/7 to answer
any questions dealers and customers have about
scooter, ATV or motorcycle insurance."
Low rates, specialized coverages, and around-the-clock
service are just some of the benefits that customers
will receive. Progressive will offer insurance
coverage for the entire KYMCO product line,
from the People S50 scooter to the UXV500 side-by-side
UTV to the Quannon 150 and Venox 250 motorcycles.
To support their efforts, KYMCO dealers are
receiving a welcome packet from Progressive,
including vehicle and insurance FAQs, and a
sample annual premium for KYMCO models.
