Existing partnership
Ride-hailing service Bolt Ghana in 2021 partnered Star Assurance Company Ltd. to provide personal accident insurance cover for its drivers and riders across the country.
The company made that move as it prioritises its riders’ and drivers’ safety and security, naming insurance as a critical part of its safety programme.
The policy took effect on April 1, 2021 and is designed to cover riders’ and drivers’ accident medical expenses, as well as compensation for death or permanent disability suffered by them while on a trip requested through the Bolt App.
Bolt started its operations in Ghana in 2017, building an extensive network in the country.
