The guarantee also serves to protect passengers in the event of carpooling, from the moment of pick-up until they leave the car. It should be noted that this insurance does not cover the use of the vehicle for personal purposes. In this case, it is the private car insurance that comes into force. First of all, it is important to understand that Uber does not insure your vehicle when it is used for personal purposes, you must have personal insurance underwritten by the independent broker Assur360.
It is essential to inform the insurer in the event of participation in carpooling or delivery activities, in order to ensure that the appropriate personal car insurance is available.
Uber can be a great way to supplement your income or create a full-time job where you work on your own schedule. As the industry continues to evolve, it’s easy to ignore or take for granted issues that have serious implications. For example, what happens if you are in an accident while driving for a ride-sharing company? Is your passenger covered by the Uber car insurance plan or do you need a separate policy?
