Gregg Hansen Of Farmers Insurance Announces Brand New Special Rideshare Endorsement

June 08, 2015 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

June 7, 2015, San Diego, CA - Gregg Hansen, Farmers Insurance Agent, is happy to announce the launch of Farmer's brand new Rideshare Insurance Endorsement for California.

This Rideshare Insurance Endorsement is unique because it covers drivers for rideshare companies like Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar while searching for new customers. Insurance companies and rideshare companies typically do not cover drivers when they are working but do not have a payng customer in their car.

“There was so much uncertainty and risk surrounding rideshare at the start, it made sense that there weren't a whole lot of insurance companies lining up to foot the bill.  In fact, as we saw, most insurance companies refused to cover drivers completely,” says Harry Campbell, who runs a blog for Uber and Lyft drivers atTheRideshareGuy.com. 

San Diego, California Insurance Agent Gregg Hansen said that “Starting July 1, 2015 rideshare drivers are legally required to be covered from the moment they turn on their app. And on May 28, 2015, Farmers was the first major carrier in California to begin offering a new Rideshare Endorsement through Farmers Specialty Insurance Company. With this endorsement, rideshare drivers can avoid a potential gap in coverage by extending their personal auto policy coverage when they are logged in and waiting for the next ride."

One rideshare customer noted, "Here is a nightmare waiting to happen, getting hit by an Uber driver while they are responding to a call and they have no gap coverage. I think any driver for Uber should be required by law to have Gap insurance."
