Safe Rides, Secured Futures: Igloo and Angkas Team Up to Protect 20,000 Filipino Riders
For the millions of Filipinos navigating the busy streets of Metro Manila, the familiar blue jerseys of Angkas represent more than just a ride—they represent a lifeline in urban mobility. Today, that lifeline gets a significant upgrade in safety and peace of mind.
Regional insurtech giant Igloo has officially partnered with Angkas, the Philippines’ leading motorcycle ride-hailing platform, to provide comprehensive personal accident and medical insurance for over 20,000 registered riders. This partnership isn't just about business; it’s about protecting the "lifeblood" of our city’s transportation—the hardworking riders and the passengers who trust them every day.
As the gig economy continues to grow, the need for a safety net has never been more relevant. Through this collaboration, Angkas riders are now automatically enrolled in Personal Accident (PA) plans. For a micro-premium starting at just 52 cents per ride, both riders and passengers are covered with:
- PHP 650,000 in Personal Accident benefits.
- PHP 200,000 in Medical coverage.
- Free private ambulance service for emergencies.
"Our mission is to make insurance accessible and affordable for all," says Raunak Mehta, Co-founder and CEO of Igloo. By embedding protection directly into the platform where riders earn their living, Igloo is closing the "protection gap" that many gig workers face.
Angeline Tham, Founder of Angkas, emphasizes that rider safety remains their top priority. "This partnership allows us to provide even more support for our riders and strengthens the trust that millions of Filipinos place in our service every day."
Whether you’re a daily commuter beating the traffic or a rider providing for your family, this new tech-driven insurance ensures that the "Grid" isn't the only thing that's secure—your future is, too.
