Cover Genius, the insurtech for embedded insurance protection, announced a new partnership with Uber to protect drivers in Brazil.
By integrating with Cover Genius’ distribution platform, XCover, Uber is able to seamlessly offer drivers embedded protection with platform-driven features such as automated payouts and charging based on driving data.
This key partnership ensures Uber’s drivers can get back on their feet if something goes wrong, and furthers our mission to protect the customers of the world’s largest digital companies.
As the number of rideshare drivers around the world skyrockets, it’s critical for rideshare, delivery and other apps to partner with insurtechs to protect both sides of their marketplace with tech-forward solutions
