Insurance portal Coverfox partners Uber to offer insurance solutions to drivers

Uber India has entered into a partnership with Insurance portal Coverfox that will aid in insurance policy purchases and facilitate car insurance solutions for Uber's driver partners under its reward-oriented programme 'UberClub'.

The partnership is aimed at providing easy access to Uber driver partners to avail car insurance with best-in-class insurance premium rates and a host of value-added services like advice from experts through one-on-one interaction and express claims service, among others.

“We recognise that our driver partners spend a considerable amount of time on the road and we want to ensure their over-all safety," said Bhavik Rathod, general manager south & west at Uber India.

Coverfox, which handles 25,000-30,000 policies per month across all verticals, expects the partnership with Uber alone to add the same number in coming 12 months.

Coverfox's car insurance services will initially be available in 11 cities, and will soon expand to all the cities Uber India operates in.
