Insurance coverage is complicated for people who work with companies like Uber to transport people for money.
- When your rideshare app is off, you are covered by your personal car insurance
- When your app is on and you are matched with a passenger, you are covered by the Transportation Network Company (TNC, such as Uber)
- When your rideshare app is on and available, but you’re not matched with a passenger, you are NOT COVERED by either insurance – this is when you could fall into the “gapâ€
We at Phillips Insurance can offer you ridesharing coverage for an inexpensive fee, probably less than $10 per month. This coverage simplifies the insurance complications – you are covered – even when your app is on and before you’re matched to a rider.
