Earlier in 2023, French insurance firm BNP Paribas Cardif has teamed up with Lemonade to offer renters insurance.
The insurance policy, which is aimed at younger customers, provides conventional protections including personal liability insurance and covers damage to personal property inside the insured residence.
Additionally, the insurance offers coverages tailored to the demands of the French market and locals such as the ability to adjust coverage limits and select additional coverage for high value belongings, among others.
The policy subscription and claims submission are 100% online and customers can access it via the companies’ websites and Lemonade’s app.
