Nairobi, April 23 -- CIC Group Insurance has introduced a new online car insurance cover that allows customers to buy or renew their motor insurance cover remotely.

Dubbed EasyBima, the cover allows customers to spread their car insurance payments over 12 months from anywhere, easing their financial burden. With Kenya's internet penetration at 40 percent at the start of the year, the digital-based policy aims to tap into the country's tech-savvy population.

EasyBima offers comprehensive coverage that includes accidental and malicious damage, theft, fire, third-party liability, legal liability to third parties arising from loss or damage to property, injury or death to third parties, flooding, riot, and civil commotion.
