Uber supplies the insurance while the driver is driving for Uber.
- kube-system 6y agoThey have some insurance, which was mostly a result of backlash from their original attempts to completely externalize those costs. If you wreck while driving an Uber, and your liability exceeds the amount Uber bought on your behalf, you are responsible for the remainder, and most all personal insurance policies will exclude coverage for this. Rideshare companies are well aware of the advantages of using independent contractors (it's basically the entire point), and many of the independent contractors themselves are not entirely aware of the consequences of that arrangement.
