Chaiz and Savvy Integrate Platforms to Tackle Rising Car Ownership Costs
As the cost of vehicle ownership and maintenance continues to climb, digital marketplace Chaiz and AI-powered broker Savvy Insurance have launched a joint integration allowing drivers to secure both auto insurance and mechanical breakdown coverage in a single transaction.
The agreement addresses a structural gap in how consumers protect their vehicles. While traditional auto insurance is legally required to cover collisions and liability, it leaves drivers fully exposed to the mechanical and electrical failures that inevitably occur as vehicles age. By linking their platforms, Chaiz and Savvy enable users to calculate and manage their total vehicle risk at once, rather than treating insurance and servicing as separate financial burdens.
Through the integration, customers using Savvy’s broker services—which compares rates across more than 80 insurers to find an average annual savings of $1,500—can immediately access the Chaiz marketplace. This allows them to bypass traditional dealership markups and secure vehicle service contracts directly, often at up to 50% less than standard dealer pricing.
“Most drivers don’t think about repair costs until something breaks,” said Ryan Hartman, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Chaiz. “Insurance covers the unexpected. Vehicle protection helps with what eventually happens as a car ages. Putting those decisions side by side makes the process clearer and far more practical.”
The integration aligns with a wider industry shift toward consolidated financial services. Savvy operates as a subsidiary of Trellis Technologies, an insurance infrastructure company recently acquired by Gen Digital (NASDAQ: GEN). Gen Digital, known for consumer brands such as Norton, Avast, and LifeLock, is currently expanding Engine by Gen—a unified platform designed to house financial tools, identity protection, and insurance under one roof. The addition of Trellis’s technology allows Gen to deliver highly targeted insurance options to its global user base of nearly 500 million.
“We built Savvy to remove friction from how people shop for insurance,” said Daniel Demetri, Founder and President of Savvy Insurance. “Working with Chaiz lets us extend our fast shopping experience into repair protection, which is a natural next step for customers thoughtfully managing the cost of vehicle ownership.”
Initial data from the rollout indicates strong consumer uptake. The ability to finalize both legal requirements and mechanical coverage over a single phone call or digital session is proving highly effective for drivers seeking practical ways to cap their long-term vehicle expenses.
