Pablow Partners with Allianz Global Assistance USA to Offer Car Rental Insurance Through P’teet
Allianz Global Assistance USA and Pablow, Inc. partner to offer daily & annual third-party Car Rental Damage Protector Insurance to renters in the US
Pablow, Inc. (Pablow), an innovative insurtech startup focused on improving access to and utilization of car rental and travel insurance globally, is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Allianz Global Assistance Car Rental Damage Protector on their P’teet website.
Prior to the launch of the United States-based P’teet website, Pablow’s founders established the leading car rental comparison website and leading car rental insurance site with the same business model in Australia and New Zealand. In reference to their partnership with Allianz Worldwide Partners in Australia, it was noted by Jaye Vega, Partner Solutions Account Manager at Allianz Worldwide Partners, Australia, “They are a dynamic and innovative force in the online travel insurance space. Taking on uncharted waters with a new product, sold in a new way, has been a challenging undertaking, but one that they have taken on with determination.”
The United States car rental insurance market that Pablow is entering is huge, with about 110 million reservations made by 70 million customers each year spending about $28 billion according to 2016 market data. At just $9 a day or $125 for an annual policy covering up to 45 days per rental, Pteet.com allows renters to compare daily and annual rental car damage insurance products, which gives travelers an affordable and reliable alternative to products offered by large car rental companies. P’teet will offer renters a comparison of Allianz Global Assistance’s daily and annual Rental Car Damage Protector* plans side by side to help consumers choose the best option for their needs.
“Rental Car Damage Protector from Allianz Global Assistance offers consumers both great coverage and service,” said Daniel Durazo, Director of Communications at Allianz Global Assistance USA. “We’re proud to partner with Pablow to offer our outstanding rental car insurance products to consumers.”
“Millions of renters each year pay more than they have to at the rental car pickup counter.” said Steve Sherlock, Co-Founder of Pablow. “We are able to offer primary insurance covering up to $45,000 in damage, starting at just $9 a day. Additionally, the policy carries a $0 deductible, meaning the renter doesn’t have to claim on their auto insurance policy, pay a hefty deductible, or risk potential premium hikes.”
If consumers are interested in purchasing car rental insurance, but want to avoid the high cost at the rental counter, they should visit www.pteet.com - “small price, big coverage.” Demand among travel distributors for the convenient policy comparison website has been higher than expected in the pre-launch phase. So, at this stage Pablow is only partnering with a few travel distributors to create a branded white label website similar to Pteet.com.
