Wisconsin has recently welcomed Uber drivers in Kenosha, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Madison and the Wisconsin Dells. It is as easy as downloading and app and pressing a button, in order to have a ride at your specific location in about 5-10 minutes.
This new craze is sweeping across the United States and in a short matter of time we will be seeing Uber drivers here in Central Wisconsin. As a local, independent insurance agency, we are excited for this new revolution in transportation. However, auto insurance needs to be a topic of discussion when it comes to how these drivers are insuring themselves. Many Uber drivers choose to use their own insurance coverage as they go on pick-ups and drop-offs. This may work in some states, but many insurance companies do not allow personal auto insurance polices to transfer to Uber drivers.
If you are an Uber driver, you need to insure yourself and your livelihood with a commercial auto insurance policy. Check with a local, independent insurance agent at Community Insurance & Associates to see what your current personal insurance policy covers. If your policy does not cover driving for hire, then it is time to look into a commercial insurance policy.
