Our mission
The insurance industry is failing to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the sharing economy.
Many insurers do not cover sharing of assets such as holiday homes with customers often unaware that they may not be properly insured.
Pikl are on a mission to ensure that businesses and their customers, who operate in the sharing economy, can access insurance products which meet their needs so they can share safely and confidently.
