L’olivier Assurance, supporting everyone who takes to the road
Young drivers just starting out, families heading off on holiday, friends sharing a journey… every day, the road brings us together. It is with this belief in mind that L’olivier Assurance is joining forces with the Paris Motor Show and becoming a partner of the first ‘En Route pour le Mondial’ event.
By supporting this unique competition, L’olivier Assurance aims to create a moment of intergenerational bonding centred on motoring. Beyond the competition itself, this experience will also be an opportunity to raise public awareness of road risks in a fun way, through challenges inspired by real-life situations.
It is a way of reminding people that the right reflexes make all the difference and that, when faced with life’s unexpected events, L’olivier Assurance is there to support drivers in their day-to-day lives.
As a 100% digital auto insurer, we want to modernize the image of insurance and show that we can talk about road safety in a fun, cross-generational way. With “En Route pour le Mondial,” we’re reaching out to our current and future policyholders in places where they might not necessarily expect to find us.
