car insurance myths

car insurance mythsI can use my personal automobile and become an UBER Driver. Maybe, maybe not….did you know that a traditional automobile insurance policy language contains an exclusion for your liability arising out of the ownership or operation of a vehicle while used as a public or livery conveyance. Basically, that means if you use your car as a Taxi, no coverage. The exclusion may apply during all phases of “ride sharing.” This could include when you smart phone app is turned on and you are offering your driving services….when a match for a ride is made….and when ultimately there is a fare paid in the auto. Ride share companies may not provide complete coverage to protect you during all phases of this transaction. Do your homework and call your insurance agent.
