How cheap can ride share insurance be?
Whether its ride share car insurance or ride share liability insurance, we have seen quotes as low as $40 per month. However, it's important to remember that insurance is based on many risk factors and there is no one price fits all policy available.
Why shouldn't I buy the cheapest cover?
If you purchase insurance based on price alone it is more than likely you will be dissatisfied in a claim. When you're doing ride sharing there are many factors you have to take into consideration.
Market Value vs Agreed Value
When doing ride sharing, you may rack up a lot more kilometers on your vehicle's odometer than usual. This can greatly decrease the expected market value of your vehicle. Take this into consideration when purchasing a policy as you may need think about securing an agreed value to allow you to replace the vehicle should it be written off.
No Fault Excess
Go with an insurer that has no excess applicable in not at fault claims. If you are put in a position where you need to claim, and it is not your fault, do you have the cash flow to afford your excess? Some insurers may charge you an excess up front in all claims.
Choice of Repairer
Every day your vehicle is off the road you are not earning money. Being forced into a specific repairer that may have delays can cause you financial stress. You can alleviate this issue by being with an insurer that offers you the choice of repairer.
Rental Vehicle
It's important to note that when selecting the rental vehicle option on your car insurance policy that the rental car provided may not be eligible for Uber or another ride share company. This is because the vehicles will need special licensing before they are allowed for ride sharing and most hire car companies will only allow general private usage.
