Insurance for Rideshare Drivers

Esurance has a car insurance product specifically for rideshare drivers, including Uber and Lyft platforms. This ShareSmart® coverage supplements your personal insurance coverage and covers the gaps between your personal auto insurance and your rideshare coverage.

When you're a rideshare driver, you're using your car for business purposes, which means your personal car insurance won't cover anything. The insurance included from Uber and Lyft don't cover the time before you accept a ride. Esurance's ShareSmart® policy covers these gaps.

You also don't have to worry about paying two deductibles. You'll pay the lowest deductible between your personal and ShareSmart® policies. You may also need to purchase your personal car insurance from Esurance, though it isn't clear from the website.

This coverage plan is only available in California, Illinois, and New Jersey.

DriveSense® Discount

Esurance's DriveSense® discount offers savings on premiums for safe driving. This auto insurance discount helps you save money while staying safe on the road. The safer you drive, the less likely you are to be in an accident and file a claim.
