The Period 1 Trap: Why Gig Drivers Face Total Claim Denials
Every personal auto insurance contract includes a standard "Commercial Use / Livery Exclusion". The second you turn on an app like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, or Instacart, your personal insurance coverage is completely suspended because you are engaged in commercial business.
1. How Transportation Network Company (TNC) Insurance Works
While rideshare companies provide commercial insurance, their coverage is staged. During Period 1 (waiting for a fare), Uber and Lyft only provide contingent third-party liability (e.g., 50/100/25). They provide $0 for collision or comprehensive damage to your own vehicle. If you rear-end someone while waiting for a ping, you are responsible for your own repair costs.

Can my personal insurance company drop me for driving Uber?
Yes. If you file a claim that occurred while ridesharing without having an active rideshare endorsement on your policy, the insurer will typically deny the claim and cancel or non-renew your policy for material misrepresentation.
Are my rideshare details or income calculations stored?
Never. All calculations execute 100% locally in your device's browser memory (RAM).
