Below is a list of different types of peer-to-peer transportation company insurance available and an explanation of what those types of auto insurance policies cover.
Physical Damage Insurance
Physical Damage insurance coverage protects shared vehicles from damages, whether or not the driver is considered at fault for an accident. Physical Damage insurance is important if you are leasing or financing a vehicle, since you have an outstanding loan or lien on the vehicle. This auto coverage is mandatory if your company wants to protect their vehicle from damages, whether the driver is considered at fault or not, and also protects the loan or lienholder on the vehicle if not owned outright. All Physical Damage insurance policies have a deductible that usually ranges from $500 to $5,000. Physical Damage insurance is written either on a Comprehensive & Collision or Collision & Specified Perils basis. Read below for more information about each of our Physical Damage insurance policies:

Auto Liability Insurance
Auto Liability, a mandatory insurance, protects you and your auto business from financial losses when you are involved in an at-fault automobile accident. Traditional transportation insurance policies are issued on a scheduled auto basis, which means the vehicle must be on the policy at the time of loss for coverage to apply.
If your Transportation Network Company (TNC) is found liable for an at-fault accident, your TNC pays to fix the damaged vehicle, for medical bills of the passengers in that vehicle(s), and also for the medical bills of the passenger(s) in your own vehicle.
Your P2P transportation insurance policy would also pay for court and legal expense fees if a third party decides to file a lawsuit against you in regards to an auto accident.
