Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance beyond Uber or Zoomy's coverage?

Uber and Zoomy provide some cover, but personal public liability adds extra protection for your personal liability. It's highly recommended for full coverage.

What if a passenger is injured in my vehicle?

Your public liability covers passenger injury from your driving or negligence. Ensure your motor vehicle insurance is current as well.

Am I covered if a passenger assaults me?

Public liability covers property damage and third-party injury, not personal assault. Your contents insurance and personal accident cover should address your own injury.

Does the cover extend to damaged passenger property?

If the property was damaged due to your negligence, you may be liable. Insurance covers the claim. Always inspect your vehicle before passengers board.
