Hail Parametric insurance

The destructive power of hailstorms is often underestimated, yet a single storm is often sufficient to wipe out an entire harvest or cause significant damage to vehicles. As the economic damage from hailstorms continues to rise, businesses are seeing a sharp increase in their hail insurance deductibles and premiums.

AXA Climate’s HAIL Protection, powered by Understory’s high-precision weather stations, offers flexible and cost-effective coverage. In our hail insurance, there are no claims adjusters, no financial deductibles and payout occurs quickly after a damaging storm.

Parametric cover for a car dealership in the USA

Client NEED

With a large number of exposed vehicles and a high risk for hail, a car dealership was looking for a solution to help recover losses from decreased car value and building damage following a hailstorm.
Pain point: The dealership’s traditional coverage included high deductibles and several exclusions.

Our solution

Our hail parametric insurance policy covers this car dealership, using a specific weather station for hail installed on site.
There is no deductible, no exclusion and a fast payout in case of hail storm.

THE RESULT

In 2019, a hailstorm passed over the insured dealership and the weather station recorded hail in excess of 3.8 cm, which triggered the policy.
The client received a rapid payout and was able to recover quickly from the storm, filling in the gaps in the client’s traditional insurance policy.
