Cover Genius inks partnership with RedBus for ‘cancel for any reason’ travel cover
Singaporean customers can now avail of this offer with RedBus.
Global insurtech firm Cover Genius has partnered with RedBus, the online ticketing platform company to offer customers in Singapore a cancel for any reason (CFAR) travel protection when they buy tickets.
“Recent research shows that 51% of travellers across Singapore intend to switch how they purchase travel protection, mostly in favor of suppliers and OTAs who can embed it within the booking experience. The shift is caused by a demand for convenience but also because customers were dissatisfied with their insurance coverages and claims experience during the pandemic. There’s clearly a need for technology to provide a more seamless experience,” said Barney Pierce, SVP Strategic Partnerships for Asia Pacific at Cover Genius.
