muddling the issue. At least in Chicago, drivers are already required to have insurance. Why do they need to have special additional insurance if they are Uber drivers? But, again, in Chicago, the city and state worked this out with Uber and came to a compromise.
- mmarx 11y agoIf insurance is required in any case, there's no choice left for the app user to make, so why should it be left to them? That said, I very much doubt that the required insurance covers comercial transportation of passengers (which uber certainly is), so that explains why they need “additional” insurance covering that.
- vasilipupkin 11y agoas I said in other comments, insurance here is red herring. because the real difference in cost comes from requiring the license for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the city only issues a limited number of licenses
