Customer Motor Claims Handler

About Zego

At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It's too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest priced insurance for good drivers.

From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We've sold tens of millions of policies and raised over $200 million in funding and picked up numerous awards, including the Insurance Claims Team Of The Year 2024 as awarded at The Insurance Post's Claims & Fraud Awards. And we’re only just getting started.

How we work

We believe that teams work better when they have time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it Zego Hybrid.

We foster a flexible approach that empowers every Zegon to perform at their best. We ask you to spend at least 1 day a week in our Halifax office after your training is complete.
