GlideWay Driver Insurance Requirements
Insurance requirements are mandatory for all GlideWay drivers. Every driver must maintain valid personal automobile insurance that satisfies applicable state requirements. Applicable commercial TNC coverage is provided in accordance with state law and the terms of the applicable insurance policy.
Mandatory Requirement — Read Carefully
It is strictly prohibited to drive on the GlideWay platform without a valid personal auto insurance policy in your name. Driving while uninsured, with a lapsed policy, or with falsified insurance documents is grounds for immediate and permanent deactivation and may violate state law. Any applicable TNC coverage does not replace your required personal policy.
Insurance by Driving Period
Which insurance applies depends on your activity in the app and the laws of the state where you drive.
App On — Waiting for a Request
You are online and available, but have not accepted a trip yet.
Applicable insurance requirements and coverage depend on state law and the terms of GlideWay's applicable TNC insurance program.
Trip Accepted — En Route to Pickup
You have accepted a ride and are driving to the rider's location.
Applicable commercial TNC coverage is provided in accordance with state requirements and the terms, conditions, limits, deductibles, exclusions, and eligibility provisions of the applicable policy.
Rider On Board — Trip in Progress
The rider is in your vehicle until you complete the drop-off.
Coverage during the trip is subject to state law and the terms, conditions, limits, deductibles, exclusions, and eligibility provisions of the applicable policy.
App Off — Personal Use
When the GlideWay app is closed or you are offline, you are driving for personal reasons and your own personal automobile insurance policy applies. You must maintain valid personal coverage at all times as required by applicable law and GlideWay policy.
