Lemonade, the digital insurance company powered by AI and social impact, today announced the launch of Buildings and Contents insurance in the United Kingdom. Expanding the company's home insurance offerings, homeowners throughout the UK can now purchase extensive coverage for their home and belongings.
Since launching in the UK in October 2022 and becoming a PRA-licensed carrier, the UK has quickly become one of Lemonade's fastest growing markets. The launch of buildings and contents insurance, with the ongoing partnership of established insurer Aviva, will bolster Lemonade's continued growth.
"The UK has proven to be an exciting market for us with a large digitally-savvy population who appreciate an easy, personalized experience," said Daniel Schreiber, Lemonade CEO and co-founder. "Growing our home insurance offerings this quickly is a tribute to our incredible team and our thriving partnership with Aviva."
Designed specifically for UK customers and with a Defaqto 5 star rating, homeowners can get instantly covered through the Lemonade app or online starting from £14 a month*. In addition to base coverage (rebuild costs, temporary accommodation, civil and property liability) and flexible contents coverage up to £100,000, Lemonade's Buildings & Contents insurance also provides a suite of add-ons to provide full-scope coverage and flexibility, including:
- Home emergency: Emergency assistance provided in case of events such as a broken boiler, burst pipes, broken locks or electrical failures.
- Accidental damage: Coverage provided for unexpected accidental events that damage your content or home.
- Theft and Loss: Theft and accidental loss in and outside your home is covered; bikes, laptops, and phones are included.
