Allianz is extending an existing collaboration by three years to provide insurance to Bolt electric scooter users across 26 countries in Europe.
The insurance company says its insurance programme covers covers severe own injuries (personal accident insurance) as well as for damages that they cause to third parties (rider general liability).
Dmitri Pivovarov, director of rentals at Bolt, says: “At Bolt we are dedicated to making sure our scooters are as safe as possible and we are currently working on several safety features for both scooter riders and pedestrians around them. However, unfortunately accidents still happen. This is where the partnership with Allianz Partners helps us provide the safety net that scooter users need in the busy urban environments where they use our products.”
Michael Maicher, head of new mobility for global Strategic partnerships at Allianz Partners, says: “Not only are we excited to grow the future of transportation together with Bolt, but we are also looking forward to extending our Allianz micromobility insurance offering to new markets like Estonia, Lithuania and Malta.”
The programme has already been rolled out in Norway, Portugal and Sweden.
