Can I opt-in for ComfortProtect to cover other passengers (e.g. my family members, friends) who are with me on the same ride?

ComfortProtect’s coverage is only extended to the passenger who has booked the ComfortRIDE or meter option and opted-in for ComfortProtect via the CDG Zig App. It does not cover other passengers on the same ride.

Can I opt-out from ComfortProtect for my next ride?

Once you have opted in and activated ComfortProtect, the insurance coverage will be automatically applied on each of your subsequent ComfortRIDE or meter option bookings.
