What Luko does

Luko, now operating as Luko by Allianz Direct, is a French digital (neo) insurance company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine. It is structured as the French branch of Germany's Allianz Direct Versicherungs-AG and distributes home, landlord (PNO), travel, and auto insurance exclusively through online and mobile channels, serving 400,000+ policyholders with a 2-minute subscription flow, video-based claims expertise, and 24/7 chat support. Pricing is structured around subscription premiums — home from €5.41/month, PNO from €4.50/month, travel from €3.95/day, and auto distributed via the integrated Eurofil sub-brand.

The platform is built around fully self-serve digital onboarding, online claims declaration and tracking, and adjustable franchise/coverage options (€75–€450), with payment processing handled by Adyen and AML/compliance automated through ComplyAdvantage. Luko acquired Berlin-based Coya in January 2022, gaining a German insurance license and expanding its operating footprint into Germany; it subsequently absorbed the Eurofil auto/home portfolio and rebranded as Luko by Allianz Direct in 2025, consolidating the multi-brand portfolio under the Allianz Direct parent.

The business model is B2C subscription insurance with monthly or annual premium billing. Go-to-market is product-led growth via fr.luko.eu and the mobile app, supported by content marketing, social media, and 11,500+ customer reviews as social proof. Total venture funding of approximately $85M was raised between 2017 and 2020 from Accel, EQT Ventures, Founders Fund, Speedinvest, Evolem, Orange Ventures, and Kima Ventures; however, no new round has been disclosed since December 2020, and multi-contract and referral programs were suspended in April 2026.
