I just learned something kinda interesting when I switched my car insurance to cover rideshare driving. Apparently, regular personal auto policies usually won't cover you if you're logged into your rideshare app—even if you haven't picked up a passenger yet. Like, seriously? I had no idea there was this weird coverage gap. Glad I found out before anything happened, but it got me wondering how many drivers actually know about this little detail...
Yeah, it's pretty wild how many drivers don't realize this. I stumbled onto the same info last summer when I was planning a cross-country trip and considered doing rideshare along the way to offset costs. Turns out, that coverage gap is no joke—you're basically in limbo until you pick someone up. Makes me wonder why rideshare companies don't make this clearer upfront... guess it's on us to read the fine print, huh?
