By integrating with Cover Genius’ XCover, Priceline’s users can easily review policy details, access support, file claims and receive instant payments for approved claims through their XCover Account.

“We’re excited to collaborate with Priceline to bring our customer-centric protection to their travelers,” said Angus McDonald, CEO and Co-founder of Cover Genius. “We avoid ‘off-the-shelf’ offerings and build technology-driven solutions that we constantly test and iterate for the best possible insurance experience. This helps develop meaningful touchpoints with customers and drives additional revenue for our partners – in fact, after launching with us, Priceline saw an increase in insurance attach rates.”

With the US travel and tourism market expected to generate $198.70bn in 2024, robust travel protection offerings are crucial for brands looking to drive loyalty and help customers safeguard their investments. As the chosen insurtech for some of the world’s largest travel brands, Cover Genius’ innovative approach to travel protection includes a single API for multiple lines of insurance, AI-backed recommendations that match the right policy to the right customers, UI testing capabilities that optimize for growth, and access to a range of products, such as CFAR, that are quick to stand up in all 50 US states and over 60 countries.

“Our partnership with Cover Genius reinforces our commitment to revolutionize travel through pioneering technology,” said Lucy Bueti, Vice President, Rental Car and Ancillary Products at Priceline. “Through Cover Genius’ flexible platform and range of technology features, we’re able to launch and continuously improve our travel protection products to ensure they cater to the evolving needs of our customers. With the peace of mind their trip is protected, our customers can focus on the moments that matter most during their travels.”
