QBE to underwrite Zego’s telematics fleet cover

5 September 2022

QBE has agreed to underwrite the behaviour-led fleet product of European commercial motor insurer Zego, which makes use of telematics data to gauge risk and suggest actions a fleet can take to improve safety.

Zego says its digitised fleet portal and risk management team make use of proprietary behavioural data algorithms tailored to individual fleets.

Fleets can achieve 15% cashback on policies via safer driving. In March last year, UK-based Zego achieved a valuation over a billion dollars to become the UK’s first insurtech “unicorn”.

“Working with an innovative and data-driven partner such as Zego will help provide fleets with more tailored solutions while providing us with greater insight into how to best meet their needs,” QBE Director of Underwriting (Motor) Jon Dye said.

CEO Sten Saar says the team is “incredibly excited” about the future of Zego with QBE on board as a partner.

“Zego and QBE share a passion for innovation around risk,” he said, “We look forward to continuing to build on our revolutionary insurance products with QBE by our side.”

Founded in 2016, Zego is active in nine European countries.
