Roamly Launches Global Travel Insurance Product

The concept of traveling internationally again became even more appealing today as Roamly, the first embedded insurtech for travel enthusiasts with unique RV insurance offerings, announced the launch of its Global Travel Insurance product. Designed with international travelers in mind — those traveling from Europe to the U.S. and vice versa — this new product provides trip cancellation coverage for all travelers wanting to protect their trips from unforeseen events, including pre-trip or mid-trip COVID-19 or COVID-19 variant diagnoses. The new insurance product is now available in both the U.S. and Europe.

Through a first-of-its-kind partnership with International Medical Group (IMG), a leading travel insurance and assistance services company and fully owned subsidiary of SiriusPoint Ltd., a global insurance and reinsurance company, Roamly is now equipped to integrate its new Travel Insurance product into existing travel marketplace insurance offerings, unlocking the ability to underwrite risk in real-time, giving consumers the confidence to travel anywhere and the keys to protect their much-anticipated travel plans.

Roamly will market its Travel Insurance product to U.S. and European consumers first, starting with customers of Outdoorsy, the most-trusted online recreational vehicle rental and outdoor travel marketplace. Two complementary products will also be offered with IMG including a travel medical insurance policy and an interior damage insurance policy for RV renters.

“We are delighted to partner with Roamly to offer cancellation and medical coverage to global consumers as well as to affiliate networks and clients based throughout North America and Europe,” says Steve Paraboschi, President and CEO of IMG.

“The world is opening up again, and Roamly and IMG are striving to be at the forefront of innovative solutions that give additional protection and security to those who want to get back to travel.”

Prashanth Gangu, COO and President, Insurance & Services, SiriusPoint, says that the company has seen strong momentum in its travel medical business over the last six months.

“The pick-up in travel medical insurance indicates that people are ready to explore further afield and travel overseas after being locked down for so long, but that protection against the uncertainty of travel due to Covid-19 is still top of mind,” says Gangu. “SiriusPoint is thrilled to support the innovative solutions Roamly and IMG are offering travelers, allowing them to plan travel with confidence.”

The new Travel Insurance product will cover policyholders needing to cancel a trip if they become sick or are hospitalized before the trip start date as well as those needing reimbursement for an interrupted trip to illness or hospitalization. COVID-19 and COVID-19 variants are treated as any other sickness on the Travel Insurance plans.

“Our new Travel Insurance product helps travelers enjoy peace of mind when booking their trips, knowing they have trip cancellation coverage for a variety of unforeseen reasons,” says Aaron Ammar, Roamly’s Chief Insurance Officer. “This new travel insurance product is a world-first for the global RV and Campervan market and we’re proud that Roamly is now able to help global travelers purchase the right protection for any type of trip, RV or other, at any part of their planning journey.”
