Optional Injury Protection

Optional Injury Protection overview

Get peace of mind while you drive and deliver. For less than four cents a mile, Optional Injury Protection helps minimize the financial impact an accident could have on you and your family. This insurance program is offered by Uber’s partner Aon.

This insurance offers several important accident benefits for partners including:

  • Medical expenses: Up to $1,000,000 with no deductible or co-pay
  • Disability payments: Up to $500 a week in income replacements for lost earnings
  • Survivors benefits: Offering peace of mind for your family’s financial security

Protecting yourself against unforeseen medical expenses and eligible earnings loss resulting from a covered accident with affordable Optional Injury Protection can be a smart financial move, and can help minimize the economic impact that an accident would have on you and your family.

Cost of program

For drivers using a passenger vehicle, coverage costs less than 3 cents per mile ($0.024 per mile). You are only charged for miles when you are on-trip or on your way to drop off an order. Premium is calculated based on miles traveled while you’re on a covered trip or delivery.

This rate is subject to change. If a change occurs, insureds will be notified in advance. Premium is rounded at the end of each trip to the nearest cent.

When am i covered?

Coverage starts as soon as you have enrolled and meet the eligibility requirements. Although you are only charged while you are on-trip or on delivery, you are protected for injuries covered by the policy while:

  • You are online, including when you are available for trip/delivery requests
  • En route to pick up a passenger/delivery, or
  • On a trip/delivery using the Uber app.

You are not covered when you are performing services for another company, nor when driving your vehicle for pleasure.

Like most insurance policies, Optional Injury Protection has some general and benefit-specific exclusions.

How to enroll

It’s fast and easy to enroll through the Insurance section of the Uber Driver app by tapping “Learn more” under Optional Injury Protection (go to Account > Insurance > Optional Injury Protection), or you can see the link below.
