How Rideshare Insurance Coverage Generally Works
Rideshare insurance coverage can vary depending on the circumstances of the incident, including the driver's status in the app at the time of the accident. The following reflects how coverage is generally structured, though specific details may vary by situation.
App Off
The driver is not logged into a rideshare app. Coverage considerations in this phase typically involve the driver's personal auto insurance. Platform coverage may not apply.
App On, Awaiting a Ride
The driver is logged in and available but has not yet accepted a trip. Some platform coverage may be available in this phase depending on the circumstances and applicable policies.
Ride Accepted or Passenger On Board
The driver has accepted a trip or is actively transporting a passenger. Platform coverage is generally at its broadest during this phase, and additional protections may apply.
