Why rideshare drivers need TLC‑ready coverage
Driving for-hire in New York means every mile has rules. Personal auto policies exclude on‑app trips, leaving gaps when you’re logged in. Uber insurance tailored for New York meets TLC requirements and protects both passengers and income. The right liability limits, collision, and comprehensive keep you on the road after the unexpected – less downtime, fewer surprises, more peace of mind.
NYC sets strict minimums for for‑hire vehicles: higher bodily injury and property damage limits than standard personal coverage. A rideshare endorsement or commercial policy bridges the period when the app is on but no passenger is in the car – a moment when personal insurance commonly declines claims. That gap matters in busy traffic and dense neighborhoods. Clear, TLC‑ready documents reduce the risk of fines, suspensions, and last‑minute rescheduling.
What this coverage does for you
- Keeps you compliant with NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission standards.
- Covers accidents during pick‑ups, drop‑offs, and en‑route to rides.
- Helps avoid claim denials tied to personal‑use exclusions.
From first call to active policy, the path stays simple. Specialists clarify your vehicle, app status, and desired limits, then do the carrier comparison for you. Expect a response within 24 hours and a plain‑English walkthrough so nothing stalls your TLC appointment.
Three steps to get insured
- Send a short request online or by phone.
