Travelport-owned expense manager Locomote has joined forces with travel insurance business Allianz Global Assistance.
The newly announced partnership means travel insurance services will now feature in Locomote’s corporate travel platform.
The agreement will also allow Allianz to offer customers a bespoke travel solution powered by Locomote.
Chief sales officer of Allianz Global Assistance Brad Smith said he was pleased by the extra benefits the partnership would bring the company.
“We are confident of the value that Locomote brings to companies and the way its solution enhances the efficiency of company travel management,” he said.
“Partnering with Locomote is a great opportunity to leverage our competitive edge, offer competitive premiums, and add a differentiating factor to our products.”
Vice Chairman of Locomote Philip Weinman said the partnership came off the back of a mutual interest in keeping corporate travellers protected.
“Our partnership with Allianz Global Assistance gives us the opportunity to strengthen Locomote’s duty of care and procurement features with a highly-recognised insurance company,” he said.
