IOWA GUIDE 15
Iowa Rideshare & Transportation Network Coverage
Iowa rideshare insurance changes according to app status and whether the driver is engaged in a prearranged ride. Current law requires distinct liability coverage during waiting and ride periods.
- Preserve app-status, trip and GPS records.
- Obtain the driver’s personal policy and the transportation-network policy.
- Review personal-policy exclusions and rideshare endorsements.
- Analyze waiting-period and prearranged-ride liability and UM/UIM coverage.
