If you making a living or picking up extra cash driving for transportation network companies (TNC) su
ch as Uber and Lyft you might want to check your insurance coverage.
The Texas personal auto insurance policy excludes coverage when a vehicle is being used as a “public or livery conveyance.” Transportation network companies provide insurance once a match has been made and a driver is on his way to pick up a customer, and while a customer is being transported. But a coverage gap still exists from the time you turn on the app until a rider match is made.
Example – if you are trolling for a rider match and your TNC app is on and you have an accident, your current personal auto insurance policy will not pay for bodily injury, property damage, medical, collision or comprehensive coverages.
