Understand the insurance coverage requirements

The insurance requirements vary by state, but all states require ride sharing drivers to carry a minimum level of coverage. In addition to your personal auto policy, you will need additional insurance coverage through the company that hires you as a network driver. This is usually provided through an endorsement to your existing policy or through a separate rider on your auto policy.

The amount of required insurance coverage varies by state; however most states require at least $50K/$100K/$25K per person/$50K property damage liability limits and uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage (UMBI). If you are driving in an area where there are no regulations governing ride sharing companies and network drivers then it may be necessary for you to purchase additional UMBI protection from one of our partners such as Progressive or Allstate Insurance Company
