As part of our effort to further broaden our customer offering, Mekonomen is now launching affordable car, home, personal and supplementary insurance policies. In cooperation with the Vardia Försäkring AB insurance company, “Mekonomen CarLife Insurance” will be introduced on 15 March 2013.

In cooperation with a strong partner, Mekonomen will be able to fulfil a clear need for safe and affordable insurance and guarantee high availability since it will be possible to purchase a Mekonomen CarLife Insurance policy directly on Mekonomen.se.

“Mekonomen has a strong brand and we are associated with the ability to offer turnkey solutions. Surveys have confirmed a desire among Mekonomen’s customers to be able to purchase good and affordable insurance policies,” says Marcus Larsson, Executive Vice President of Mekonomen.
