There Are Three Rideshare Periods to Know About

One of the first questions that often comes up with an Uber Accident is whose insurance policy applies – Uber’s insurance or the driver’s insurance? There are three rideshare periods in California, and which insurance company is liable will depend on which rideshare period the driver was in at the time of the accident.

Period One

During this period, the driver is “active” with the app open and is waiting to be matched with a passenger. If an accident occurs during this period, Uber must provide the driver with the following coverage: $50,000 for bodily injury per person per accident, $100,000 for bodily injury total per accident, and $30,000 for property damage liability.

Period Two

The driver has accepted a ride during this period, but has not yet picked up their passenger. This period includes the time that it takes to drive to the passenger’s pickup location. Uber is required to provide $1 million in commercial insurance coverage for this period and $1 million to cover against uninsured/underinsured motorists.

Period Three

During this period, there is a rideshare passenger in the vehicle. Again, Uber is required to provide $1 million in commercial insurance coverage, as well as another $1 million to cover against uninsured/underinsured motorists. This coverage begins when the passenger enters the vehicle and continues until they exit the vehicle.
