bolt partners with WorldTrips

bolt announced a partnership with WorldTrips, the Tokio Marine subsidiary providing travel insurance plans and assistance services.

As part of the partnership, bolt and WorldTrips will introduce “the first program” for the travel insurance segment that provides travelers with protection for their connected devices, covering smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Travelers will be able to add the coverage for their devices when purchasing their travel insurance and pay only for the device protection they need while they are traveling.

Covered travelers will have access to bolt’s online claims process and global repair network.

“Our work with WorldTrips speaks to the importance of staying connected with friends and family while traveling, especially for students and those who are traveling for business. Together, WorldTrips and bolt developed a solution that is affordable and easily accessible to every type of traveler, providing peace of mind that you will be protected and connected even when you’re away from home.” – Clayton Bodnarek, EVP of Alternative Distribution, bolt.

“At WorldTrips, we are constantly considering pain points that impact travelers and finding ways to address them with simple and affordable solutions. We see bolt as an ideal partner because of their unique device protection product that is easily accessible at any time and anywhere in the world. With people storing so much critical information on their devices these days, it is paramount to ensure those devices are protected when people travel.” – Mark Carney, President and CEO, WorldTrips.
