What is rideshare insurance?
Rideshare insurance is a policy designed for people who drive for companies like Uber, Lyft or other transportation network services (TNC’s). If you get in an accident, it covers the gap between your personal policy and the insurance provided by the rideshare company.

How do deductibles work with rideshare insurance?
Rideshare insurance helps cover the gap between your personal auto policy's deductible and the TNC policy's deductible.
For example, if your collision coverage deductible is $500, and the TNCs collision coverage deductible is $2,500, the ridesharing endorsement may help pay the $2,000 difference.
