When using Uber or Lyft, it is crucial to follow certain guidelines to ensure your safety and insurance coverage. Here’s the most important rule:

• Always book drivers through an app, and NEVER pay cash for rides! Sometimes a driver might offer, for a few bucks in cash, to take you to another stop or to pick you up later for a cheaper price. Don't do it! If you do, the driver might not be insured. Many Uber and Lyft drivers don’t realize that if they aren’t running their app when you’re in their car, their car is not insured. Additionally, if you have an agreement that cuts Uber and Lyft out of the deal (like by paying cash), then Uber or Lyft won't cover you. Always book a driver through apps to ensure insurance coverage.

If you’re driving for a rideshare company or any app-based side gig, make sure you have the right insurance coverage.

• Contact Your Auto Insurer: Ensure you have insurance coverage for your side hustle by contacting your auto insurer. It's best to get this confirmation via email for documentation purposes. Driving as a side hustle often requires you to add an insurance rider to your policy. 
• Get Written Confirmation of coverage: Many drivers are surprised to learn they don’t have coverage in the event of a wreck because they didn’t get written confirmation of their coverage while driving for their side hustle. Always obtain and keep written proof of your coverage.
