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.
