Universal Casualty Launches Independent Auto-Dealers Partnership With NIADA

Partnership

Universal Casualty is proud to announce its partnership with NIADA; the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association. NIADA was founded in 1946 and serves as the representative body for over 38,000 used vehicle dealers in the United States.

By partnering with Universal Causality, an insurance company that specializes in serving independent auto dealers, NIADA members are now eligible for exclusive market premiums.

Tim Derham, CEO of Universal Casualty is thrilled with the opportunity to work with NIADA, stating, "We look forward to savings NIADA members lots of money and understanding their very specific coverage needs."

Gary Bolan, Chief Underwriting officer at Universal Casualty, adds: "The partnership is symbiotic of our organization's mutual goals."

The partnership is 100% dedicated to the owners of independent auto shops--with tailored solutions that have zero hassles. By removing the broker, specializing our service, and partnering with a sizable organization like NIADA, Universal Causality has reduced premium costs with increased customer service capabilities for independent auto dealers through this bulk offering.  

Bob Voltmann, CEO at NIADA, states that he "is very excited about the opportunity to work together in order to explore the opportunity of industry products that better protect our member businesses."

Paula Frendel, Executive Director at NYIADA, added on that she "is elated to extend our partnership nationwide to serve members' insurance needs." Services available under this offering include General Liability, Workers Compensation, Professional Liability, Commercial Auto, Tools / Equipment, Commercial Property, and Business Owners Policy.
