Uber really is a very well done system that is a big leap forward.

Just enjoy it now, because once they effectively destroy the cabs they can start to accomplish their goals.

Probably because many of them OWN THEIR VEHICLES.

Uber is more helpful for myself with expense reimbursement as well. Getting a receipt/proof is simple and more reputable than receipts I've gotten from cabs which are more or less stubs with the price written in pencil. That's good or bad depending on your honesty.

I rarely troll.

Yes, surge pricing sucks now. It's going to suck even more.

So how many people here drive their own vehicles without insurance?

I think the requirements are a 4 door car, proof of insurance (passengers included) and a 2003? or 2007? later car....

A drivers license might also be in there....lol

They don't have insurance that covers you as a passenger.

All the insults in the world doesn't change that.

well then say what you mean

driving without insurance (what you said) is 1000x different

They are driving without insurance for their passengers.

It was clear to all in this thread other than you.

I believe the issue is that many auto insurance policies don't cover you when you are transporting paying passengers and Uber basically says "We don't care" about that issue.

I'm knowingly exchanging risk for a lower fare.

What kind of dangerous/high speed accidents are you even going to encounter in a city setting? I'll take my chances with a fender bender while my Uber ride is going 5-10 mph in River North.

I'm fairly confident that you can't work as a livery/taxi/whatever service and be covered with just your personal lines auto insurance. There do exist small exceptions or endorsements for things like, say, if you're shuttling around your local church group or something benign like that, but something like this? Almost certainly not.

i understood fine
you were the one asking who would drive their own vehicle without insurance, which has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the conversation

In The US, What Insurance Is Available If There's An Accident?
If you’re taking a ride requested through UberBLACK, UberSUV, or uberTAXI, your livery or taxi transportation provider carries a commercial insurance policy in at least the minimum amount required by local regulations. If you didn’t get his or her insurance information at the time of the accident, please reach out to us so we can connect you.

If you’re taking a ride requested through uberX, some transportation providers are rideshare drivers providing transportation with their personal vehicles. Rideshare providers carry personal insurance policies. However, there’s a commercial insurance policy for ridesharing with $1 million of coverage per incident. This policy covers drivers’ liability from the time a driver accepts your trip request through the app until the completion of your trip. This policy is expressly primary to the driver’s personal auto policy. An additional insurance policy covers drivers when they are logged into the Uber app but have not yet accepted a trip request.

There is also uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UI/UIM) of $1 million per incident for bodily injury, in case another motorist causes an accident and doesn’t carry adequate insurance. So, for example, injuries caused by a hit-and-run accident would be covered by the UI/UIM.

You are covered by my insurance if we get in an accident in my car.

If I was acting as a taxi or livery agent, then it's a whole other ball of wax.

While you might be correct, I have a feeling someone who put in the $1 Bill and Morgan Stanley, who I think is getting ready to bring them public has looked into this much more than you or I have.

Our daughters use Uber daily in the city and love it.

You would hope.

I was wrong

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

One of my co workers tried to be a driver for extra cash for a while but it ended up not being worth it. They had all sorts of weird rules and minimums.
