The insurance includes four months of coverage against COVID-19 infection and vaccination side effects, comprising medical expenses of up to 8,000THB, loss of income compensation of maximum 400THB per day, medical expenses for coma or severe illness of up to 80,000THB and COVID-19 testing for themselves and their family members up to 5,000THB. UltraPro and SuperPro driver partners will receive a 100% subsidy on the insurance premium while a 50% subsidy will be offered to Pro driver partners. Registration is open until June 6, 2021, and the coverage will run from June 9 - October 9, 2021 for those who registered in this phase.
The partnership with Dhipaya is part of Gojek's GoStronger initiative, an effort to help ensure the health, livelihoods and safety of everyone across its ecosystem. The insurance program is a continuation of the COVID-19 insurance program launched during the first outbreak in March 2020, which offered a one-year-coverage to the driver partners free of charge.
Shri Chakravarthy, Gojek Thailand's Country General Manager said, "Since the beginning of the pandemic, Gojek has worked continuously to find new ways to support our partners - especially driver partners - the frontline heroes who provide for the daily needs of Gojek's users, and keep the city moving. We've done this through the creation of new income-earning opportunities as well as ongoing educational outreach on health and safety - all to allow our driver partners to continue to deliver the best possible service and to return home safely each day."
Gojek is ready to further support its driver partners, merchant partners and all users through its GoStronger campaign by delivering hygienic, reliable services, reducing expenses, increasing income and more.
