Rideshare & Delivery: Coverage Basics
- Disclose business use: tell your agent about Uber/Lyft/DoorDash/etc.; many personal policies need a rideshare/delivery endorsement.
- Mind the app phases: some gaps exist when you’re “available” but not on a trip — verify how your policy handles each phase.
- Keep proof handy: certificates and app docs help resolve claims quickly.
- Use tech to save: telematics can offset city-driving surcharges with safe-driving data.
