Protection against accidents, illnesses top delivery riders’ insurance needs

Gigacover, an independent worker insurance provider, saw its users increase ninefold since 2020.

More than four in five delivery riders in Singapore saw accident coverage as the most important insurance plan, according to a survey conducted by Gigacover, a financial platform aimed for independent workers.

This was followed by three in four delivery riders seeking income protection insurance in the face of illnesses.

With a respondent pool of 1,183 riders, Gigacover said 80% were willing to spend on insurance plans, with almost 90% adding that insurance would encourage them to take more orders.

Since 2020 the company’s users, mostly independent workers, have increased ninefold, with more than 100,000 coming from Singapore and Indonesia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
