In contrast to regular car insurance, most general insurers will refuse to insure Uber Eats drivers due to the higher risks associated with food delivery. As a result, you’ll need to look for alternative insurance options to ensure you’re fully covered while working for Uber Eats.

As an Uber Eats driver, you’re effectively operating a small business. Therefore, to be covered for damage to your vehicle and other third parties, you’ll need commercial insurance. It’s important to inform your insurer of the type of work you’ll be doing to ensure you’re adequately covered.

It’s crucial to understand that personal or domestic insurance policies typically won’t cover you for Uber driving. This means that if you have an incident while driving for Uber Eats, your insurer may not pay out, and your policy may be canceled.
