When it comes to insurance claims, car owners would normally be dragged into the uncomfortable feeling of adjusting accordingly to the schedule and arrangements to make sure that they get exactly what they are due. But that was yesterday’s news. Today, a new mode of tracking has been launched by BestMex, something entirely convenient for people who don’t have to worry about ruining their plans.
BestMex launches the Best Claims Service, an online tracking scheme that allows motorists to monitor via real time the status of their insurance claims. Standard protocol still requires a claim to be filed in the country in which it originated, but for the first time, customers are able to track the progress of their claim, especially useful for any claims that take longer than normal to process.
The improvements that BestMex offers is truly something worth checking out. Also, it could be something other car insurance companies may want to consider, particularly now that people hate it when they have to go through the motions of manual procedures for their insurance claims.

Teen driving can be reckless at times and as parents, we barely get to see this. Testing them by asking them to drive for you will not work since they will certainly be cautious and drive like rational drivers. But the real problem starts when you are no longer looking. But that was yesterday’s news.
Today, Zoombak makes teen drivers become more cautious. With their latest GPS tracking device, parents will be able to monitor their children’s driving habits and pinpoint where they are. The rising number of car accidents caused by teens has been a cause for concern and now thanks to Zoombak, another preventive measure may be able to help curb down these numbers.
How Zoombak speed tracking works:
- Following a quick over-the-air software update, Zoombak customers will be able to set up a speed threshold, (say 60 MPH) and receive alerts if that threshold is exceeded.
- Setting up a speed alert for an account at Zoombak.com is simple and fast, and users can choose to receive alerts by SMS text to their mobile device, or by email. Users can set the speed alert to be always on, or set on/off schedules around certain times of day.
- Zoombak determines the speed and direction (North, South, East, West) of the driver based on their location signal every 5 to 15 seconds.
- When conducting Find-Now searches at Zoombak.com, in addition to the regular current location information, the email or text message will now also automatically display both the speed and the direction the driver was heading. So even if automatic alerts are not set up, parents can still see on-demand how fast and which direction their teen was driving. Direction is displayed as North, South, East or West.
- The new “Speed” section of the Zoombak website provides Zoombak customers with more detailed instructions on setting up and getting the most out of the speed tracking feature.
