Insurance To Churchgoers Only Plan Gains Attention
A Texas company, the Christian and Temperate Insurance Company, offers auto insurance to church members and abstainers from alcohol at reduced rates. Founded by two brothers from different churches, the plan stems from two years of study of automobile fatality records and has already sold over 1,000 policies. The concept rewards drivers who attend church and avoid drinking, proposing a market where good driving and moral conduct lower costs. The idea mirrors proposals to base premiums on driving history, but expands eligibility to religious and temperance groups while promising profitability.
