There is no doubt that some professionals are more exposed to road risk than others. This is particularly the case for ride-hailing drivers who drive several hours a day in dense urban environments. However, despite their higher risk profile, it is quite possible to offer them good cover at an attractive price without a combined ratio in the red. How can this be done? With behavioral insurance or Pay-How-You-Drive! Unlikely? YEET-VTC has done it!

YEET-VTC is a Lyon-based insurance company founded in 2021. This subsidiary of YEET Assurances is specialised in the protection of ride-hailing drivers and their vehicles. It is the first insurance company dedicated to ride-hailing drivers to offer behavioural car insurance.

Yes, the combined ratio is positive
