I posted a warning quite a while ago - about Insurance and UBER. Many of these people were picking up passengers had NO insurance because their personal insurance did not cover COMMERCIAL use of the car (Ie - for hire) - and they did not have commercial insurance which often is very expensive. AND I told the story of one UBER driver who LOST HIS HOUSE when he was sued by a customer due to injury in an accident. Remember - your personal medical insurance does not cover you for a car accident in most states as well - this in normally covered by no-fault provisions in personal insurance - which refused to cover due to the commercial use.

Since most states REQUIRE you to have insurance - especially for HIRE - UBER was bypassing the laws for a while. It was not until the government decided that the drivers were actually employees - that this changed. Still - I would not use an UBER unless they have their insurance card in plain view.
