The new partnership is targeting the gadget sector;
Allianz Partners UK has entered into a new long-term partnership with travel insurance intermediary Coverwise to introduce additional device protection for UK travellers when abroad.
The Coverwise Travel Gadget offering provides dedicated protection against the loss, theft, or accidental damage of essential personal electronics while abroad. Designed for the modern traveller, the policy covers a wide array of devices including mobile phones, tablets, laptops and smartwatches, and offers customers repair, replacement, or cash reimbursement, ensuring customers are supported if things don’t go as planned.
The new partnership marks Allianz Partners’ entry into the UK travel gadget market, building on its position as the UK’s leading travel insurer. More broadly, it reflects the company’s strategic focus on evolving its protection and assistance portfolio in the UK, combining insurance with complementary services designed around real‑world customer risks.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Coverwise to add an essential layer of protection for their customers,” said Marcus Latchford, Chief Sales and Distribution Officer UK and Ireland, Allianz Partners. “As the UK’s largest travel insurer, we are constantly looking for ways to evolve alongside the modern traveller. This long-term partnership reflects our evolution beyond traditional travel insurance toward practical, customer-focused solutions that continue to meet the changing realities of travel risk.”
Mark Shaw, CEO, Coverwise, added, “Personal devices play a huge role in how people travel today, from downloading boarding passes to capturing holiday memories. By offering dedicated gadget protection alongside our travel insurance, we’re able to give customers more comprehensive cover and greater peace of mind in one place. We too are delighted to enter this new partnership and look forward to offering our customers a key element of cover backed by Allianz Partners’ expertise, global reach and exceptional service.”
