It is important to know that if you are using your car for transportation purposes, you cannot use a regular car insurance policy. You must have a plan that is specifically designed for the transportation of passengers.
As with regular car insurance, Uber insurance covers accidental damage to your vehicle, theft and hijackings, natural disasters, fires, and damage to a third party or their property. The additional cover includes passenger liability cover and personal accident cover. Roadside assistance, towing and tracking could also be covered.
Remember, it is a big responsibility to transport passengers, and if something should happen to them, you will be held responsible. Ensure you have adequate cover to protect yourself should something go wrong.

Is it safe to drive an electric car with an Uber Insurance policy in South Africa? Many are speculating that yes, it is safe. As there are currently zero-zero drivers in the streets of South Africa who have the permits to drive on the roads, there has not been any accidents as such. It is true that in some parts of the country that there are road accidents, and that there are some who are negligent, but overall the service system of the company is great. Even though no accidents are happening in the cities like Cape Town or Durban, but the reason for this is that the taxi service is incomplete in those cities and thus the drivers end up using private cars.
When you book your trip on the Uber platform, you can have an idea about what coverage you have in your hand. If you have a Uber ECR or electronic transfer register system, you will be able to see if you have any coverage in the case of an accident. This means that the company covers the driver, the car (including its parts) and the passengers who are travelling in the vehicle. This is one of the more important aspects of an insurance policy of this type. In case of an accident, you would want to have assurance that all your passenger’s possessions are covered.
One of the most basic things that the insurance scheme of this firm takes care of is the cover for the driver. The limit of coverage for this varies, depending on the insurance provider. However, generally, the limit of coverage is about fifteen thousand per person, and it can go up to twenty-five thousand per person if there is a serious accident. Some companies offer coverage that evens out.
Now let us move into the section of insurance of the vehicle. We all know that there are two types of insurance that a timeshare company offers. One is the physical insurance, and the other is the liability insurance. The physical insurance is there to ensure that no physical damage occurs to the passenger during the ride. In case of an accident, this will cover all the personal possessions belonging to the rider. The major part of this coverage is the protection of the driver and so the limit of liability is applied to the driver only.
Liability coverage, on the other hand, ensures that the damages done to the passenger in case of an accident will be paid by the timeshare company. In case the driver has no liability coverage, this liability coverage will take care of everything. To get this liability coverage, you will have to apply for insurance with the same company that insures you. Once this has been done, you will get the insurance.
One of the best ways to get liability coverage is by using the services of the timeshare company itself. They help you get liability coverage from their end and help you compare different companies to choose the best one. This way, you can get the best insurance possible at a price that suits your budget.
