Zurich Australia, a leading insurance provider, has announced a partnership with Tesla to become the preferred electric vehicle insurance provider for Tesla customers in Australia.
The partnership aims to offer Tesla owners comprehensive and convenient insurance through the ‘InsureMyTesla’ EV offering, leveraging Zurich’s advanced ‘Edge’ technology, according to the Coverager.
This service will be accessible directly via the Tesla app, simplifying the insurance process for both new and existing Tesla owners.
Through this collaboration, Zurich will provide extensive coverage for Tesla vehicles, including repairs for glass, charging equipment, and batteries, all managed through Tesla’s accredited repair network.
This insurance product will be available to all Tesla Model 3 and Model Y customers via the Tesla app, ensuring easy access and streamlined service.
Zurich has been Tesla’s preferred insurance provider in Switzerland since 2016, and this new arrangement in Australia builds on their successful relationship.
The partnership underscores the growing importance of electric vehicle adoption in Australia, aligning with both companies’ commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology.
“EV uptake in Australia is rapidly growing as consumers continue to recognize the importance of lowering their environmental impact. Ensuring these customers receive quality insurance protection is critical for supporting the national transition journey. Zurich and Tesla share a common pursuit to drive a more sustainable future, invest in cutting edge technology and provide leading products and services to a loyal customer base. With shared global strength paired with deep local expertise, this is a natural alignment that will benefit many Australians on our roads,” said Justin Delaney, Chief Executive Officer, Zurich Australia & New Zealand.
“Zurich has a long-standing reputation for protecting its customers in Australia and across the globe. As the preferred provider for InsureMyTesla, Zurich offers Tesla customers affordable and convenient insurance, all accessible within the Tesla App. With InsureMyTesla, Tesla ownership becomes even more secure, giving more Australians the confidence to switch to Electric Vehicles,” remarked Thom Drew, Tesla Country Director, Australia & New Zealand.
