AUTOLAB Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Shun Chida), a company engaged in the planning, manufacturing, and sale of automotive supplies, has partnered with Reloclub Co., Ltd. to offer SBI Insurance auto policyholders a special discount on its custom-fitted 'ASTA Hail Guard' car covers. The service is designed to help policyholders proactively protect their vehicles from hail damage.
As hail-related vehicle damage has been on the rise due to unstable weather conditions in recent years, this service provides practical, preventative protection for SBI Insurance policyholders at a 15% discount off the regular price.
Rising Hail Damage and the Importance of Prevention
In recent years, vehicle damage caused by hail has been increasing nationwide due to increasingly unstable weather patterns. In Eastern Japan, particularly the North Kanto region, hail occurs frequently between May and July, often causing widespread body dents and glass breakage in a short period, leading to high repair costs and restricted vehicle use.
In response, SBI Insurance launched a 'Hail Alert Email Distribution' service on March 30, 2026, utilizing a proprietary hail prediction model.
Given this context, AUTOLAB has partnered with Reloclub to offer its 'ASTA Hail Guard' car covers as a preferential benefit for SBI Insurance policyholders. By combining insurance as a safeguard against the unexpected with the cover as a proactive defense, they aim to support a more secure and safe car life for policyholders.
