Getting insurance for Uber drivers just got easier

As an Uber driver (or any Ride Sharing company), ordinary motor insurance isn’t enough. If you are offering rides for paying customers via Uber (or other ride-sharing apps) you need private hire insurance and we can help.

Uber is available in 71 countries and 10,000 cities across the world. It has 93 million customers and 3.5 million drivers.

Uber insurance cover – what you need to know

The name “Uber” has now become synonymous with booking a taxi in many parts of the world. Uber is a taxi booking app that enables passengers to book a ride that’s perfect for them and pay for it via credit/debit card so there is no need to exchange any cash. The company was founded in the US in 2009 and has grown tremendously since that time – reaching the UK in 2012.
