Been with uber for a couple years and didnt notify my insurance company. When I had an accident, I was f*%$#ing dropped.. Went into the greenlight hub for help and there was an an Allstate office right inside. They offered me collision coverage specifically for uber drivers and I don't need to run the risk of being dropped or fly under the radar anymore. BEST DECISION.
Just an FYI - I have Erie Insurance and to add business use (which would cover rideshare) to my vehicle cost only $72 add'l per year. Even though I no longer do Uber, I keep it on because it's so affordable.
lucky after being dropped u were able to get ins easy . with paying big buck...doing uber without ins co. knowing is a type of fraud...guys dont want to her it but its true
Again, it sucks and it pisses me off to no end that Uber/Lyft will not tell new drivers ahead of time to make sure they have a personal policy that will cover rideshare/business/whatever you want to call it, while you are doing rideshare. As a new member to the forums, you can literally find dozens, if not hundreds of stories similar to yours. I am certainly glad it worked out for you, but for many others, no such luck.
I agree with JaneBond462's statement about Erie. Last year, my primary insurance for the family did not cover rideshare and I got a separate policy from Erie to cover me. This year, switched everything to Erie and the cost to have the one vehicle I use be listed as a business was about $50 more per year. The agent I use for them is terrific.
Just signed up for the new Uber insurance that covers whatever they say it covers LOL . Now we plug in all the holes; Personal when the app is not on and "one Beacon" when the app is on. The cost is OK!
Good question. I take it there was no coverage for his accident. My understanding is it's the same for pizza delivery or any other commercial delivery. If you don't have a specific rider on your personal vehicle you are SOL if you have an accident.
SOL. ITS BEEN THIER SCAM SINCE DAY 1. HIRE UBER X. DRIVERS. MAKE $$ON INS PER RIDE. DONT CARE THAT they commit ins fraud....
THIS IS ONE OM ME BIGGEST BEEFS WITH UBER...LYFT 2500 DUCT.. IS CRAZY
