Mobility data and analytics company Arity has partnered with Ford Motor Company to allow any participating insurer to offer secure usage-based insurance (UBI) programmes to eligible owners of connected Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
With the usage-based insurance programmes, drivers can get access to personalised driving data directly from the vehicle while enabling insurers to price more precisely in exchange for safer driving on the roads, without requiring to download an extra app or even plug in an onboard diagnostic (OBD) device.

Arity’s driving analytics and insights help to derive driving risk seamlessly from the vehicle’s data, which in turn benefits insurers as well as drivers.
Ford Motor Company director of Business Operations, Enterprise Connectivity Alex Purdy said: “We continue to invest in embedded vehicle connectivity to help our customers get as much value from their vehicles as possible.
“Arity helps make this possible by enabling insurers to offer customers with eligible Ford vehicles more personalised insurance based on how, when, and how often they drive, without the need for any additional hardware.”
These programmes are intended to promote safer driving and enable insurers to develop lasting relationships with their customers by offering additional incentives, such as rewards and personalised pricing.
