Hi everyone,
I am a new Uber driver (haven't even given a ride yet) and I have some pretty basic questions about insurance that Uber is for some reason refusing to answer.
Do I need a commercial insurance policy? If I call Geico and ask about it, will they drop me on the spot?
I have heard Uber provides insurance, but I never got an email about it, and I can't find it on their help site. If I get pulled over, what do I show the police? Do I show them my personal insurance or will that get me in trouble?
I love using uber as a passenger, but honestly I am kind of blown away at how unwilling they are to respond to my emails. The one reponse I got from them was "What are your questions" even though I had already asked them I re-phrased and asked again only to get no response. I check my junk folder every day and nothing.
I just want to know how to drive legally. I have been finding articles like these that have scared me away from launching the app:
***never mind, I'm not allowed to post links for some insane reason***
Most of those links are from 2014, so are they even still valid? Do I need a vehicles for hire permit before driving? AARRRAGGHHHHHH!!! So many unanswered questions! If you haven't noticed, I'm the type of person who likes to dot their I's and cross their T's before doing anything.
Sorry for the long post. Any and all help (even if it's links to other threads in this forum that I couldn't find) is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a great day everyone!
