victim of a hit and run tonight while driving passengers to their destination. Front end damage, still drivable. Does Uber's liability cover that deductible free. Filed police report and passenger can confirm the individual ran the red light.

You have a choice. Pay the $500 deductible and claim the accident on your rideshare endorsement or pay the $1000 and let Uber's insurance handle it. Only bad news is that your claim with your insurance will constitute a loss run. Since rideshare insurance is so new I don't know how they calculate premiums, but with commercial insurance any claims against your policy makes a considerable premium increase.

I would put it on ubers, so your insurance rate won't go up.
$21 a month increase over 2 years will cost more than the $500 you will save.
The increase could be higher, and the higher rates could last longer.

This story suggests $300+ more a year for 3-5 years after the accident.
That's $1000-1500 in increased premiums.

I also have uninsured motorist property damage through State Farm. I've read where that may have an even lower deductible. $200 maybe? In Tennessee
Talked to my agent today. My uninsured property damage should cover me. Deductible would be $200. I started the claim process with SF. No penalty against me for the hit and run.

Why pretend he wasn't ubering? Let his rideshare endorsement policy cover it and get subrogation from James River.

Does JR insurance's Uninsured Motorist policy have a deductible?
It just says that their Uninsured Motorist is for bodily injury, it doesn't specify if that covers Collision/Comprehension.Uber said:
