IMG partners with bolt to offer device protection to travellers
Insurer International Medical Group (IMG) has partnered with insurtech bolt to offer Mobile Device Protection as an optional add-on when purchasing a plan within the Patriot Travel series
The add-on provides coverage for repair or replacement of a traveller’s mobile device if it is lost, stolen, or accidentally damaged during their trip.
“We know how indispensable devices like cell phones and tablets have become in nearly every phase of travel: housing boarding passes and tickets, communicating with friends and family, and documenting your travels while abroad," said Amanda Winkle, IMG Chief Commercial Officer. “By partnering with bolt to offer Mobile Device Protection, we are taking another step toward our goal of providing products and services that meet nearly every traveller and expatriate need while away from home.”
If a traveller’s mobile device is damaged while travelling, such as a broken screen or internal overheating, they can quickly and easily get reconnected to their digital life through an integrated claims process. Bolt will help get the device repaired, provide a cash settlement for the replacement cost of the device, or replace the phone.
IMG plans to offer the optional Mobile Device Protection add-on with more of its insurance products in the future.
