As a rideshare driver, most insurance companies won’t cover you while you’re roaming waiting to pick up your next ride. Your TNC’s insurance company will not provide coverage during this time; neither will a regular auto insurance policy. What you need is a policy that offers an endorsement to provide coverage for rideshare drivers.
OnGuard Insurance is an authorized producer for multiple insurance companies in multiple states that offers a “transportation endorsement” that will provide coverage for rideshare drivers for only about $10/mo. In Texas, we place most of our rideshare clients with Progressive Insurance Company. Being one of the most affordable companies in TX already, you’ll probably end up paying less than you were before you needed ridesharing insurance.

Why Purchase Rideshare Insurance in TX?
Transportation Network Companies (TNC) like Uber and Lyft are experiencing explosive growth as consumers embrace this convenient form of transportation in record numbers. The market is much bigger than you might think, as an estimated 500,000 TNC drivers are currently involved in ride-sharing (Uber, Lyft, etc.). Many of these drivers are unknowingly exposed to potential gaps in coverage.
In fact, there are multiple claims per day in Texas involving a rideshare driver during work, and many of these claims are being denied because the personal auto insurance policy only provides coverage when the TNC driver’s ride-hailing app is off. This means that many of you driving for these companies probably aren’t covered under your personal policies. Our rideshare coverage will close that gap and provide a solution by extending coverage during Period 1 of the drive cycle (see illustration).
Don’t ride-hailing companies have policies that cover their drivers?
In most cases, a company’s full commercial coverage doesn’t come into play until a ride has been accepted. During the time when a driver has logged into the company app, but not yet accepted a ride [Period 1], limited coverage may apply.
What about the driver’s personal auto policy?
Personal auto policies in Texas aren’t designed to extend coverage when transporting passengers for hire. In fact, most personal policies exclude this type of exposure, and many are extending this exclusion to include the time the ride-hailing app is on, but no fare has been accepted [Period 1].
When does the rideshare insurance coverage come into play?
In Texas, this coverage extends drivers’ personal auto policies through Period 1 of the ride cycle, allowing drivers to obtain coverage not provided by their ridesharing companies. Your TNC’s insurance company provides coverage from when a ride is accepted on the app, to when the passenger is dropped off. Our policy provides coverage while roaming looking for a passenger and of course for all other personal use.
What is the cost of this coverage in TX, and how do I add it?
On average, the ridesharing endorsement is about $10/mo. to add. An additional 8,000 miles will be added to the current mileage estimation calculation. A surcharge of approximately 10% will be applied (the surcharge will vary slightly based upon coverages selected). Once you’ve requested a quote, one of our agents will contact you to go over your quote and underwrite the policy, please advise us that you drive for a ridesharing company and we’ll add that coverage on for you.
