Uber Drivers Need to Be Protected
It’s an exciting time to be an Uber driver in Chicago! Ridesharing services use a smartphone application to connect potential passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire. Many Uber drivers use their personal vehicle and operate in a part-time capacity.

Most conventional auto insurance clearly excludes coverage when the driver is transporting a customer or available for hire. While the ridesharing companies typically extend some insurance coverage to the driver while a passenger is physically in the vehicle, a serious coverage gap exists while the ridesharing app is running but no passenger has requested a ride. Even when coverage is present from the ridesharing company, the limits provided are typically much lower than what you may expect. The bottom line is that you may be at personal financial risk when working as an Uber driver.
