Cover Genius Teams Up With Ryanair

Cover Genius , the leading global insurtech for embedded insurance, has announced a strategic partnership with Ryanair , Europe’s largest airline, to offer its customers comprehensive travel protection, integrated directly into the booking flow for a more convenient experience. There can be little doubt that obtaining travel insurance that actually pays out on Covid related dealys, tests, quarantines, re-booked flights etc is going to be a big headache nect year. For insurers, the key factor is going to be clear, easily understood T&Cs and exclusions – anything else is going to risk action by the FCA in the long run.

By integrating with  XCover , Cover Genius’ award-winning global distribution platform, Ryanair customers will have the option to purchase a selection of protection products tailored to their itinerary.

Ryanair’s Director of Ancillary Revenue, Greg O’Gorman, said:  “We are delighted to partner with Cover Genius to offer our growing network of customers an even more convenient and comprehensive suite of travel insurance options. Customers can now avail of tailored protection packages that are specially curated for each itinerary, regardless of their location or language, to give them peace of mind as they travel with Ryanair, Europe’s no.1 airline.”

This partnership follows a travel insurance survey that shows anoverwhelming majority (74%) of British travellers plan to switch from their current travel insurance channel due to dissatisfaction with coverage and claims experience, representing the highest percentage of dissatisfied customers globally. This is according to a survey conducted by Momentive.ai, and commissioned by Cover Genius that observed 509 British travellers to better understand sentiments regarding travel insurance, their preferred channels for obtaining it, and their experience when making a claim.

In comparing recent purchases versus future purchase preferences for travel insurance, of those who purchased from their travel provider or agent in the past 18 months, 62% prefer to purchase this way again.

Findings show that while 46% of British travellers got travel insurance to protect themselves from pandemic-related issues since March 2020,  more than a third (39%) of these British travellers had pandemic-related claims rejected. 

“Since the start of COVID-19, our network of travel partners have seen a  647% increase in  attach rates , showcasing the accelerated need for protection,” said Peter Smith, VP Strategic Partnerships – Travel for Cover Genius. “In today’s environment, the nation’s leading digital and digitally-enabled companies — whether airlines, OTAs, cruise lines or even banks and fintechs — need to lean on insurtechs for tailored protection suitable for their customers, rather than relying on traditional insurers and legacy systems to administer protection to their customers in their time of need.”

When asked to rate their claims experience, customers scored an NPS of -37 for all sources of travel insurance (travel provider/agent, online insurer, health insurer, or credit card). However, online insurers delivered the poorest outcomes for their customers, with a post-claims NPS measuring -50, and taking 26 days to process. Cover Genius’ post-claims NPS stands at +65, the highest independently monitored score for any insurance company worldwide.

The study also showed a correlation between NPS and resolution time for claims, suggesting that claims backed by faster payments, clearer policy wordings, online status updates, online filing and avoidance of data re-entry can all increase satisfaction rates.

“As customers expect a digital-first experience, now is the time for major European brands to step up and protect their customers with embedded, hyper-relevant products that reduce friction and are fit for a future where customers increasingly want their protection to come from their favourite brands,” said Smith.

Ryanair and Cover Genius in travel insurance alliance

Digital insurer Cover Genius has teamed up with European airline Ryanair to offer its customers comprehensive travel protection, integrated directly into the booking flow for a more convenient experience.

The partnership will see XCover, Cover Genius’ award-winning global distribution platform, integrated into Ryanair’s suite of travel insurance options. This will allow Ryanair’s customers the option to purchase a selection of protection products tailored to their itinerary.

Cover Genius, which reportedly raised £8.3m in its latest funding round earlier this year, following a £52.8m Series C round, helps consumers to buy insurance at the point they need it. Its services are used within retail, payments, logistics, mobility, auto, travel, property, business services and the gig economy.

This partnership follows a survey, conducted by Momentive.ai and commissioned by Cover Genius, of 4,638 travellers from EMEA countries including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Italy, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. The survey revealed that the majority of travellers (42%) would prefer to purchase embedded travel protection directly from travel providers and agents with the primary driver being convenience. In fact, of the travellers who previously purchased travel protection from a travel provider, 71% would do so again.

Greg O’Gorman, Ryanair’s director of ancillary revenue, said, “We are delighted to partner with Cover Genius to offer our growing network of customers an even more convenient and comprehensive suite of travel insurance options.”

Join us as we navigate the landscape of travel insurance, shedding light on why it matters, what it should cover, and how you can tailor it to your specific needs when traveling to Russia.

Why Russia Travel Insurance?

Exclusions and Limitations: Understanding the limitations and exclusions of a policy is crucial to ensure comprehensive coverage.

Reasons To Buy Russia Travel Insurance From Any Country

Russia travel insurance is essential for anyone planning a visit to this vast and diverse country. Whether you’re travelling for leisure, business, or exploring the rich cultural heritage of the Russian Federation, having the right insurance coverage is crucial.

When obtaining a Russian visa, it’s a mandatory requirement to provide proof of medical insurance for the duration of your stay. This medical insurance for Russia, often referred to as travel medical insurance, ensures that you are financially protected in case of unexpected medical expenses during your trip.

Here are some key reasons to consider purchasing Russia travel insurance:

Mandatory for Russian Visa: To obtain a Russian visa, you will need to provide evidence of medical insurance coverage. This requirement is in place to ensure that visitors have access to adequate healthcare services while in the country.

Healthcare Expenses Coverage: In the event of a medical emergency or illness during your stay, having travel medical insurance ensures that your medical expenses will be covered, including hospitalization, doctor’s fees, and medication costs.

Compliance with Regulations: Having the appropriate insurance policy for Russia ensures that you comply with the regulations of the Russian Federation. Failure to provide the necessary documentation, including valid medical insurance, could result in difficulties during your travel.

Protection for the Unexpected: Travel insurance not only covers medical emergencies but also protects against unexpected events such as trip cancellations, lost baggage, or flight delays. This helps you minimize financial losses in unforeseen circumstances.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that you have comprehensive insurance coverage for the duration of your stay in Russia provides peace of mind. You can enjoy your trip with the confidence that you are protected against unforeseen events that may disrupt your plans.

Covers Various Aspects: A good Russia travel insurance policy should cover a range of aspects, including medical emergencies, trip cancellations, baggage loss, and more. This comprehensive coverage ensures that you are prepared for various situations that may arise during your travels.

Ease of Obtaining Treatment: With the right insurance, you can access quality healthcare facilities in Russia without worrying about the financial implications. This is especially important in a foreign country where navigating healthcare systems may be challenging.

Legal Requirements: Besides being a visa requirement, having the appropriate travel insurance is also a legal requirement in Russia. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the specific insurance regulations of the Russian Federation to ensure compliance.

Russian Medical Insurance Requirements: Visa and Entry Information

When planning a trip to Russia, it is imperative to be aware of the visa and entry requirements, particularly the mandatory medical insurance. The Russian Federation stipulates that all visitors must have valid medical insurance coverage for the duration of their stay, and this requirement is closely tied to the visa application process.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding the significance of medical insurance for Russia:

Russian Visa Application: To apply for a Russian visa, individuals must provide evidence of medical insurance coverage. This insurance, often referred to as travel medical insurance or Russian travel insurance, is a key component of the visa application process.

Mandatory Requirement: The medical insurance requirement is not just a formality; it is a mandatory provision enforced by the Russian government. This is in place to ensure that visitors have access to necessary medical services during their stay in the country.

Coverage for the Unexpected: Medical insurance for Russia goes beyond visa compliance; it serves as a safety net for unforeseen circumstances. In the event of a medical emergency, the insurance policy covers expenses such as hospitalization, doctor’s fees, and prescription medications.

Comprehensive Insurance Policies: When selecting a policy, ensure it provides comprehensive coverage, including not only medical emergencies but also other aspects like trip cancellations, lost baggage, or travel delays. This ensures holistic protection against various potential disruptions.

Legal Compliance with the Russian Federation: Adhering to the medical insurance requirement is not just a matter of convenience but a legal obligation. Failure to provide proof of the necessary insurance may result in complications during the visa application process or upon entry into Russia.

Ensuring Health and Safety: Having valid medical insurance enhances the safety and well-being of travellers. It guarantees access to quality healthcare services in Russia, contributing to a smooth and secure travel experience.

Understanding the Insurance Policy: Before obtaining insurance, it’s crucial to understand the terms and conditions of the policy. Familiarize yourself with the coverage limits, inclusions, and exclusions to ensure that the insurance meets the specific requirements of the Russian Federation.

Peace of Mind for Travelers: Travelers can embark on their journey with confidence, knowing that they are adequately covered in case of any health-related contingencies. This peace of mind enhances the overall travel experience.

In summary, obtaining medical insurance in Russia is not just a visa prerequisite; it is a fundamental aspect of responsible travel planning. It ensures compliance with the regulations of the Russian Federation, provides financial protection in emergencies, and contributes to an overall safer and more enjoyable travel experience. Travelers are advised to carefully choose a suitable insurance policy that aligns with their needs and the specific requirements of their trip to Russia.
