How Uber’s Commercial Insurance Policy Works 

Accidents involving Uber drivers present various complexities. This is because Uber does not consider Uber drivers as employees. Drivers are instead classified as independent contractors. While New York law requires Uber and other rideshare companies to maintain a commercial car insurance policy to cover their drivers, it may not cover your accident. Even if Uber’s insurance policy covers your accident, the amount of coverage available will depend on the circumstances of the accident, such as the status of the Uber driver at the time of the accident. Below are some key factors about how Uber insurance works. 

• If the accident was caused by the Uber driver while they were ferrying a passenger, Uber’s insurance policy provides coverage of up to $1.25 million. The insurance policy covers injuries as well as property damage to third parties, including pedestrians, other drivers and the passengers in the vehicle. 
• Uber’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage covers up to $50,000 for injuries where the Uber driver was at fault. 
• Uber’s insurance policy provides up to $1.25 million in uninsured motorist coverage for the occupants of an Uber vehicle in cases where an uninsured or underinsured driver caused the accident. 
• The accident occurred while the Uber driver was logged out of the app, i.e. driving for personal reasons, Uber’s insurance policy does not apply. You would have to seek compensation from the Uber driver’s personal car insurance policy if they were at fault. 
• If another party is at fault, their insurance policy will apply.
