Insurtech company Qover, which is backed by Zurich, has collaborated with BMW and MINI to launch an omnichannel motor insurance platform for the Irish market.

The solution offers an omnichannel motor insurance model that combines digital and retail engagement, the release said.

The partnership enables Irish customers to obtain quotes, sign up for policies and manage their insurance online or through customer care support.

The programme’s key features include guaranteed access to approved body shop repairs using genuine BMW and MINI parts, and online policy management with the option to modify or cancel coverage.

Additionally, it also includes insurance for a variety of vehicles including electric and hybrid models, with specific provisions for battery cover and charging cables.

“This launch marks just the beginning of a multi-party collaboration,” the release added.

Qover CEO and co-founder Quentin Colmant said: “This programme showcases how embedded insurance transforms both customer experience and retailer engagement. By creating a seamless omnichannel journey, we are meeting customers where they are while empowering retailers with digital tools.

“We are proud to bring our technology to support BMW and MINI customers in Ireland, establishing one of the first embedded insurance solutions for premium automotive brands in this market."

Wakam, a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) insurer, supported the partnership.

Wakam Group CEO Catherine Charrier-Leflaive stated: "We are proud to support Qover with our embedded insurance expertise and technologies. Together, we are enabling a new era of personalised insurance, giving BMW and MINI drivers in Ireland access to trusted protection in a simple and efficient way."

In July of the previous year, Qover introduced its motor insurance offering in Ireland.

Founded in 2016 by Quentin Colmant and Jean-Charles Velge, Qover has received investments from Alven, Anthemis, BlackRock, Cathay Innovation, Prime Ventures and Zurich Global Ventures.
