Common Rideshare Driver Insurance Coverages
Period 1 Coverage
This covers you when your rideshare app is on but you haven't accepted a ride yet. Personal auto insurance doesn’t usually apply during this time, so rideshare coverage helps protect you from liability if you're involved in an accident while waiting for a ride request.
Liability Insurance
Liability insurance helps cover injuries or property damage you cause to others while driving for a rideshare company. It’s required by law and usually kicks in when you're en route to pick up or transport a passenger. This coverage helps protect your assets if you're at fault.
Collision Coverage
Collision coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident, regardless of who’s at fault. If you're driving for a rideshare company and get into a crash, this coverage can help minimize repair costs—especially helpful since personal insurance may not apply during work hours.
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from damage not caused by a collision, such as theft, vandalism, hail, or fire. It helps fill in the gaps left by both personal and rideshare policies and ensures you're covered even when your car isn't moving but still vulnerable.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
This coverage helps if you're hit by a driver who has little or no insurance. It pays for your medical bills and vehicle damage when the at-fault driver can’t. For rideshare drivers, this protection is crucial since not all drivers carry sufficient insurance.
Why Rideshare Insurance?
Ridesharing companies typically provide some insurance coverage while you’re actively driving passengers. However, this coverage may not be sufficient to protect you in all situations. Without proper insurance, you could be left financially vulnerable in the event of an accident or other unforeseen circumstances.
Our rideshare insurance policies are designed to fill the gaps in coverage left by traditional auto insurance and ridesharing company policies. With our coverage, you can drive with confidence knowing that you’re protected every step of the way.

What Is the Risk if I Don't Have Rideshare Driver Insurance?
Without rideshare driver insurance, you risk serious financial loss if you’re in an accident while working. Your personal auto policy likely won’t cover damages or injuries during rideshare activity, leaving you responsible for repair costs, medical bills, and legal fees. Additionally, rideshare companies may offer limited coverage that only applies during certain periods. Operating without proper insurance can also lead to denied claims, suspended accounts, or even legal penalties, putting both your income and personal assets at risk.
