Chubb to underwrite policies

Private equity-backed Halo Insurance has teamed up with Chubb to launch a car hire excess operation in Germany.

The website, leihwagenversicherung.de, offers car hire, van hire and car club excess insurance policies.

Chubb Insurance Company of Europe will underwrite the policies.

Halo chief executive Ernesto Suarez said: “Germany has the largest number of hire car drivers in Europe yet the excess insurance market is in need of reform, so we expect there to be significant demand for products like ours.”

Halo launched last year in the UK with iCarhireinsurance.com, offering excess hire car insurance direct. It is underwritten by Gibraltar-based Service Insurance.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
