Uber Eats announces new insurance package for its deliveryman

Uber Eats is announcing a new Delivery People Insurance Package for its delivery people in Hong Kong who use the Uber Eats app to earn money.

From today, every Uber Eats delivery person is insured by AIG for any applicable on-trip accidents at no additional cost, providing different types of cover if they are injured and unable to work.

“Almost half of our delivery people are family breadwinners, according to an earner survey we conducted last year. We want to offer partners and their family with the right protection, security, and peace of mind when they need it most,” said Elisa Janiec, General Manager of Uber Eats Hong Kong. 

“Uber Eats would not be here without delivery people who make magic happen with every trip they take. I am proud that we are able to support delivery people with an insurance program at no additional cost to partners,” she added.

Tomi Latva-Kiskola, President & CEO AIG Insurance Hong Kong, said, “AIG is proud to partner with Uber Eats in Hong Kong. Our partnership is an example of what can happen when two innovative companies come together to deliver solutions that meet the changing needs of how people work and shop today.”
