MIC Global and inDrive Expand Parametric Insurance to 18 Countries
Born from a 2012 Siberian protest against price-gouging, the ride-hailing platform inDrive is scaling its safety net. The company announced a major expansion of its partnership with MIC Global, extending trip-level parametric insurance to cover drivers and passengers across 18 countries, mitigating the financial fallout of accidents during rides.

Traditional insurance models often falter when faced with the gig economy’s unpredictable schedules and global footprint. MIC Global addresses this with a parametric approach, utilizing platform-verified data to trigger automated claims without the need for manual underwriting or cumbersome paperwork. This system allows the coverage to activate precisely when a trip is booked through the inDrive app, providing a consistent safety layer regardless of local market variations.
Scaling from three countries to eighteen in less than two years required navigating a fragmented global regulatory landscape. MIC Global maintains a unified underwriting spine while tailoring policy wording and actuarial bases to meet specific regional compliance requirements. This structure allows the company to provide immediate capital support across diverse markets, backed by reinsurance through Lloyd’s and MIC Re. For inDrive, which operates in over 1,200 cities, this collaboration serves as a vital safeguard for users in regions where sudden medical expenses could otherwise lead to long-term financial instability.
