Uber in Waterloo Region

[ookpik]

More re Aviva. I caught part of an interview with an Aviva representative on CBC radio yesterday afternoon. He said that in order to get their Uber policy you must have personal auto insurance through them. They base their rate for ride-sharing coverage on whether you'll drive 0-10 or 10-20 hours per week. (More than 20 hrs and you're considered a commercial driver.) When asked how they'd enforce the hours estimate the rep said that when someone makes a claim they'll investigate with Uber.

So much for the concept of getting this sort of data on a regular basis and charging insurance based on the actual number of hours driven. So much for using all that wonderful technology for charging insurance on kilometers actually driven.
