Driver Technologies (Driver), an AI-based mobility tech company that delivers a safer, connected driving experience, and VOOM Insurance, an insurtech company that provides data-driven, usage-based insurance products for the future of mobility, today announced their new partnership to help more rideshare drivers get the tailored auto insurance they need while providing them with the technology to enhance their driving safety on the roads.
VOOM Insurance offers insurance to rideshare drivers in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Georgia and will offer more states soon. VOOM provides premium access to the Driver app and the option to receive a lower deductible on their insurance by enabling external video recording in the Driver app in the event they share their accident footage during their claim.
Driver’s No. 1 rated AI driving copilot app, Driver®, transforms a driver’s smartphone into an advanced mobile driving assistance system and dash cam designed to make connected mobility technology more accessible. As part of its premium service offerings, drivers can access their Driver Cloud to view all of their telematics data and videos, monitor their road safety score, the Driver Score, receive automated coaching and have the ability to share any videos for claims purposes.
“We are excited to partner with VOOM to equip rideshare drivers with the tools they need to improve their driving habits,” said Rashid Galadanci, CEO and co-founder of Driver Technologies. “At Driver, we’re committed to developing mobility solutions for rideshare drivers to protect themselves and their passengers on the road while implementing safe driving habits that can result in discounted insurance premiums.”
As of April 2024, car insurance premiums have continued to increase by 22.6% over the last year, according to the latest Consumer Price Index from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. With over 1.7 million rideshare drivers in the U.S. needing a specific insurance policy to stay covered, rideshare drivers rely on VOOM insurance to provide a usage-based insurance product designed to consider unique driving patterns and mileage.
“At VOOM, we want to provide our rideshare customers with the best insurance solutions available to account for any potential coverage gaps and connect them with safety tools to help them reach their next destination,” said Tomer Kashi, CEO and co-founder of VOOM. “We are thrilled to partner with Driver Technologies, which aligns with our mission to provide equitable insurance and mobility products to our customers as well as allows our customers to implement hardware-free technology to help our drivers drive safer. We believe that the best insurance solution not only pays claims fast but also tries to prevent incidents from even happening.”
