Pay-as-you go insurtech Zego partners with European micro-mobility start-up Dott
London-based insurtech Zego, a provider of pay-as-you-go insurance for drivers and riders who work flexibly with their own vehicles, has partnered with European micro-mobility start-up Dott to provide insurance for its fleet of shared e-scooters across France and Belgium.
The partnership follows Zego's Series B funding last month wherein it raised $42 million to fund the company’s expansion across Europe and double its workforce.
The deal marks the company’s arrival in France and Belgium, where it will look to capitalise on the growing popularity of shared new mobility services.
Zego was started by former Deliveroo managers in 2016 to provide flexible insurance for the gig economy and has since expanded its offering to cater to the market of new mobility services, such as ride hailing, ride sharing, car rental and scooter sharing.
Sten Saar, CEO and co-founder of Zego, said: “We believe that companies such as Dott represent the future of mobility and we want to enable the growth of this exciting new industry by creating insurance models which suit its needs and can unlock its potential. For this form of transport to be widely adopted and welcomed by all, it’s essential that e-scooters come with the right insurance without causing inconvenience for riders.”
