Zurich-owned travel insurer Cover-More has agreed to be the exclusive provider of travel insurance and assistance for leading travel group Webjet across Australia and New Zealand.

The new partnership will make use of Cover-More’s Impulse online sales and optimisation technology.

“To lead the travel insurance sector in any market, you need to get the product, coverage and technology right and Cover-More’s technology can deliver Webjet customers the greatest variety of offers and the most appropriate cover available,” Cover-More CEO for Asia Pacific Judith Crompton said.

Established in 1998, Melbourne-based Webjet claims to be the largest travel agency in Australia and New Zealand, with offices in North America, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Earlier this month, Cover-More entered a three-year preferred travel insurance provider deal with TravelManagers .
