What Type of Coverage Can Rideshare Drivers Expect?
Unlike some rideshare insurance coverage, the policy with Mobilitas will take care of you no matter where you’re at in your day. If you’re on the app, have a passenger or are on your way to a passenger, you’ll be completely covered.
Features
Mobilitas boasts flexible payment options, allowing you to pay every two weeks, monthly or in full up front.
You can also manage your policy straight from the mobile app without having to call in to make a change. However, if you need extra help or help with anything for that matter, you can call for live help.
An added benefit that rideshare drivers might enjoy is that you can get up to $100 per day for 14 days if you can’t work because your car was damaged in an accident.
If you already have a Lyft account, you can get a quote and purchase a policy with Mobilitas from the Lyft driver app.
What Are People Saying About Mobilitas Coverage
According to Ed Walker, Micromobility and Shared Economy Practice Leader at USI Insurance Services, who specializes in the mobility and insurance industries:
Mobilitas is a welcome addition to the growing body of insuretech focused insurance providers within the shared economy and on-demand service space… Mobilitas aims to attack this commonly underappreciated aspect of insurance by providing a full optional suite of gig economy specific claims resources, risk management tools, and top to bottom technology/telematic mobile app integration to help ensure ridesharing operators and drivers have the insurance they need and the tools to manage it.

Why Do I Need Rideshare Insurance?
Uber and Lyft only cover rideshare drivers during Periods 2 and 3. Period 2 starts once you accept a ride request and are en route to your passenger, and Period 3 starts once your passenger gets into your car.
However, when you’re online and waiting for a request during Period 1, you have no collision coverage from Uber or Lyft and much lower liability limits.
This means as a rideshare driver, you’re most at risk during Period 1 since you won’t get any collision coverage from rideshare companies and your personal insurer likely won’t cover you during this time either.
Mobilitas covers drivers through all periods of driving for Lyft – periods 1, 2 and 3. This gives drivers peace of mind and makes sure they’re protected in case anything goes wrong.
