How Rideshare Insurance Works

Rideshare insurance works differently than standard auto insurance. Your coverage changes depending on your activity in the Uber or Lyft app.

  • App Off: Personal auto insurance applies
  • Waiting for Request: Limited rideshare coverage applies
  • En Route to Pickup: Increased commercial-style coverage
  • Passenger in Vehicle: Full rideshare coverage is active

The biggest risk for most drivers occurs during the waiting phase, where coverage is often limited or denied without proper insurance.
