Yango Ride Launches Free Trip Insurance Program in Ghana

Yango Ride, a subsidiary of the global tech company Yango Group, has launched its Free Trip Insurance Program in Ghana. This innovative initiative, in collaboration with Glico Life Insurance, provides insurance coverage for all passengers and partners’ drivers during rides ordered via the Yango app across the country.

This program aims to enhance safety and security for all involved in Yango rides, offering coverage at no additional cost. The launch represents Yango’s ongoing commitment to introducing more safety features across its services, following the recent implementation of insurance coverage for Yango Delivery partners’ couriers.

The trip insurance program covers unforeseen incidents during rides, including accidental medical expenses, total permanent disability, bodily injury, or death. “As a company, Yango cares about the safety and well-being of both the partners’ drivers and passengers. We ensure that everyone using our platform is well-informed about the advanced safety features through regular safety training, in-app communication, and other activities. Partnering with Glico Life Insurance allows us to offer free trip insurance that gives everyone peace of mind when using our service,” said Tom Ofonime, Country Manager of Yango Ride in Ghana.

This partnership between Yango and Glico Life Insurance marks a significant step in enhancing safety measures within the ride-hailing industry. Both companies are dedicated to ensuring that everyone who uses the Yango platform can do so with confidence and reassurance. Speaking at the launch event, Maame Dufie Achampong-Kyei, Managing Director of Glico Life Insurance, emphasized the importance of such collaborations. She encouraged all road users and Ghanaians to stay safe and ensure they have insurance coverage ahead of the upcoming festive season and beyond.

“This partnership marks another step forward in realizing our mission of bringing insurance to the doorstep of every Ghanaian household. We are thrilled to partner with Yango to provide trip insurance coverage for both drivers and passengers using their platform. At Glico, we are committed to providing peace of mind and security for all parties involved in rides. Together, we are contributing to improved road safety,” she added.

The trip insurance launch is part of Yango’s broader efforts to support partner drivers, couriers, and passengers. Recently, Yango Delivery partnered with Provident Insurance to provide coverage for partner couriers, addressing medical expenses resulting from accidents while delivering services via the Yango platform. Additionally, Yango has collaborated with Beaver Health and Standout Care to offer free medical screenings and subsidized healthcare to its partner drivers and couriers.
