As the holiday season approaches, Igloo, a regional insurtech company, is helping shoppers protect their valuable gifts with simple insurance solutions. Working with e-commerce platforms and insurance underwriters, Igloo provides coverage for a wide range of items — from tech gadgets to beauty products — against risks like theft, accidental damage, and malfunctions.
Holiday shopping often involves purchasing high-value items such as smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and appliances. While these gifts can bring excitement, they also come with risks. Accidents happen — gadgets can break or get damaged, and high-end items can experience unexpected issues. Igloo’s solutions, available through platforms like Lazada and Shopee, offer shoppers the option to add insurance coverage directly at checkout.
One popular offering is Gadget Protection, which covers devices against accidents and liquid damage, and includes access to professional repair services. For those buying phones and accessories on Shopee, Cracked Screen Protection offers coverage for screen damage caused by accidental impacts.
For pricier non-electronic gifts, Igloo partners with Etiqa to offer Merchandise Protection. This plan covers accidental damage or theft of items bought on Lazada, adding an extra layer of security for shoppers.
Igloo also offers Product Liability Protection for beauty products sold on Lazada, covering consumers from allergic reactions or other health risks. This insurance gives shoppers access to resources like teleconsultations, medical reimbursements, and emergency hospitalization.
By choosing to insure gifts, shoppers can ensure peace of mind, knowing their purchases are protected. With Igloo’s accessible options, holiday shoppers can make their gift-giving experience more meaningful and worry-free.
