Outdoorsy is widely recognized as the market leader in the sharing
economy and known for its customer service, highest 5-star ratings &
reviews, comprehensive insurance coverage, bank-level secure online
payments and optional roadside assistance and GPS tracking.

The company is bringing that same commitment to Canada by opening
offices and employing Canadians in customer service, marketing and
bilingual sales positions.

"I’m a proud Canadian, born and bred. The company was started in my home
in Vancouver, Canada, but scaled in the United States. We’re pumped to
finally launch it with Aviva, the best insurance partner bringing
insurance solutions to Canadians from coast to coast," says Jen Young,
Outdoorsy chief marketing officer. "This is an incredibly special
homecoming for me."

Aviva Canada has underwritten a $2 million third party liability
insurance program in partnership with Outdoorsy and backed the company’s
launch in Canada.

The partnership between Aviva and Outdoorsy introduces an insurance
solution representing the height of innovation in the sharing economy.
RV owners can now turn their parked RV into profit centers by earning
extra income renting to other campers through Outdoorsy with insurance
coverage included at no extra charge.

"We’re excited to team up with Outdoorsy because they are the most
reputable and sustainable partner in this business, winning the hearts
and minds of RV enthusiasts," says Daniel Ignoto, Aviva Canada vice
president of lifestyle personal insurance. "We’re both committed to
building products that have long-term value for our customers and
support the way they’d like to travel."

"Outdoorsy’s Canadian RV insurance solution and dedicated Canadian
support team provides the same quality experience that we are known for
in the United States," says Jeff Cavins, Outdoorsy CEO.
