Staff Writer
HARARE, Genetic Financial Services, trading as Gene-Insure, in partnership with ZINARA have introduced a self-service vehicle licensing machine as part of continuous product innovation for convenience.
GeneInsure operates as an insurance Underwriting Management Company to Zimnat General Insurance, specializing in tailor-made insurance services and solutions, including corporate insurance, motor, house owner’s, house contents, all risks and personal accident insurance.
Constantine Mambariza, head of information technology and solutions said the machine, a one-stop shop, allows motorists to buy both their insurance, vehicle licensing discs and radio licences at one spot.
“The machine works 24/7 and is strategically located at places such as tollgates, shopping malls, service stations and traditional Zinara licensing sites,” he said.
Mambariza added that the use of the machine would go a long way in de-congesting licensing sites.
The self-service machine was deployed at the Eskbank tollgate along the Harare-Bindura highway.
Zinara public relations manager Tendai Mugabe said they were encouraging motorists to use the self-service machine and online vehicle licensing platforms.
“Our target is to eliminate queues at licensing sites and we are urging the motoring public to make use of this self-service machine to license their vehicles. We are also cognisant of the fact that we are in a Covid-19 situation and we would not want to congest our licensing sites. Online licensing is convenient in every sense as motorists can do all the licensing in the comfort of their homes,” he said.
