Urban Jungle has widened its range of insurance products to offer travel insurance, becoming the first UK Insurtech to give both travel and home insurance

UK-based insurtech company, Urban Jungle, has collaborated with UK-based specialist insurance provider, PJ Hayman & Co. 

This makes Urban Jungle the first UK insurtech to offer both travel and home insurance.

Jimmy Williams, CEO and Co-Founder at Urban Jungle, explains: “At Urban Jungle we’ve always had the goal of helping customers get fairer cover across a range of insurance products, so it’s fantastic to continue our product rollout.

“Just like our flagship home insurance products, our travel insurance is designed to be simple, clear and fair, and customers can get insured in minutes.

“Having announced further growth funding mid-last year, it’s a really exciting time for Urban Jungle as we continue to expand to new verticals.

“It’s part of our Urban Jungle vision of a world where everybody feels confident about their financial future, starting with insurance.”

The importance of accessible insurance 

Organisations must expand into multi-line insurance providers and ensure their insurance is affordable and accessible to enhance financial resilience and effectively meet evolving customer needs. 

Not only will this simplify policy management and enhance convenience but affordable premiums will mean more people will be protected by essential coverage.

Customers can guarantee easier claims handling, cost savings and enhanced customer experiences by having a single provider to bundle multiple policies.

Insurers can also spread risk across different sectors, reduce dependency on a single product line and diversify their revenue streams. 

Crafting cost-effective and accessible policies will ensure that insurers can contribute to financial security, promote inclusivity and empower underserved markets.

Urban Jungle’s travel insurance will cover cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage and delays through annual multi-trip and single-trip policies. 

This partnership with PJ Hayman & Co will have many impacts, including:

  • Enhanced customer convenience by offering many types of insurance
  • Broader market reach by diversifying its revenue streams
  • Increased revenue potential through a multi-line offering
  • Strengthened brand perception 
  • Support for sustainable growth
