In a nutshell
  • Embedded insurance responds to a growing consumer demand for high-value added services.
  • It strengthens consumer trust and reinforces your brand.
  • It effortlessly boosts your income.

1. Answer your customers’ need for peace of mind

As the pandemic encourages commuters to switch from cars to bikes and cities look to improve air quality, the bike revolution is just getting started. And with this lifestyle change comes the need for better protection should life decide to get in the way.

When opting for a bike, consumers invest time and money in finding the perfect make and model. Speed, comfort, practicality, affordability – every person has their own requirements. One thing they have in common, however, is wanting to make a good investment.

Bike theft is rampant across Europe. In fact, 1 in 4 people have had their bike stolen, according to a survey we ran with more than 120 respondents. Bike thieves become increasingly sophisticated, and are less likely to be deterred by padlocks. It's no wonder 90% of cyclists we surveyed are concerned about bike theft.

Protection against such events is essential, especially when bikes are used as a primary mode of transport.

By proposing comprehensive bike insurance at checkout, you prioritise your customers’ needs for security and freedom. And in today's competitive marketplace, we know that success lies in putting people first.

Strengthen consumer trust and reinforce your brand with positive experiences. An embedded solution is so much more than insurance – it enables you to broaden your horizons by offering a high-quality, modern service, making you the one-stop-shop for bike enthusiasts.

By making bike insurance an integral part of your strategy, you increase your ability to create value for your customers and your business. However, insurance is a complex subject, which is why it's important to choose the right partner to guide and support you in this endeavour.

Theft, material damage, assistance, deductibles, depreciation, nighttime exclusions, professional use, global coverage, multilingual customer care, the list goes on and on. All of these aspects need to be carefully considered in order to guarantee the best possible customer experience.
