Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (“BHTP”) has agreed to underwrite Cover-More's direct travel insurance product launch in the United States.

BHTP said in a statement that the business relationship teams BHTP with Cover-More, an Australian-based provider of travel insurance throughout multiple countries, and allows Cover-More to sell travel insurance products and services to U.S. travellers taking domestic and international trips.

“This is a unique opportunity to align with an organization that shares our commitment to leveraging technology to provide the best experience for travellers. This is the first step towards an alliance that continues our promise to revolutionize the travel insurance industry,” said Dean Sivley, the president of Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection.

“The two companies complement one another very well – BHTP's product, customer service excellence, and claims innovation combined with our predictive intelligence solutions are the perfect combination to provide travellers with innovative, tailored insurance products for their trip,” commented Carole Tokody, the chief executive officer of Cover-More Group for North America and Canada.
