Omio, a global platform for booking trains, planes, buses, and ferries, has partnered with InsurTech leader Companjon to expand its Omio Flex offering.
This partnership allows Omio to provide customers with enhanced flexibility by integrating Companjon’s technology.
The goal of the partnership is to extend Omio Flex’s cancellation options, allowing travellers to cancel tickets for any reason up to two hours before departure and receive up to 80% of their fare.
Companjon will serve as the risk carrier, underwriter, and policy manager for this solution, ensuring smooth implementation and an elevated customer experience.
Omio, which focuses on providing a seamless travel booking experience across multiple modes of transportation, has made it easier for users to purchase flexible fares.
Customers across EEA countries can select Omio Flex at checkout or add it later via the Ticket Configurations page. If plans change, travellers can simply cancel through the “Manage Your Booking” page, and compensation is processed directly by Omio.
Companjon, established in 2020, has rapidly grown by offering modernised InsurTech solutions to various sectors, including mobility, e-commerce, and entertainment. Its technology, incorporating machine learning and AI, is utilised by businesses in over 32 countries across Europe and North America.
This partnership is expected to drive further innovation within Omio Flex, with future improvements leveraging Companjon’s technology and data insights to enhance user experiences.
Omio President B2C Europe, Veronica Diquattro, commented on the collaboration, stating, “At Omio, our goal is to offer seamless, convenient, and multimodal travel experiences to people worldwide. Our collaboration with Campanjon marks a major achievement as we focus on providing unmatched flexibility and convenience to our customers. Looking ahead, we plan to work closely with Companjon to improve Omio Flex by leveraging their advanced technology and valuable data insights to address the evolving demands of our users.”
Companjon CEO, Matthias Naumann, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We are delighted to be Omio’s trusted partner in helping enhance their customer experience internationally, by enabling full flexibility with our unmatched Cancel For ANY Reason solution. Omio Flex aligns with customer expectations and raises the standard of transportation services overall. We applaud Omio for their customer-centricity and look forward to our continued collaboration on Omio Flex, including the personalisation of journey protection for every Omio user around the world.”
