I applied for Uber and after looking into it, never followed through. First of all, the insurance issue is iffy at best, you could find yourself being sued with no one to cover you, "insurance company's are attaching riders to their policy's, explaining that if you are using your car to transport passengers for money, you will not be covered", this also goes for hospital costs. They recommend you try to use your own health insurance first, then if declined, they may help you or may not.
Same goes for accidents. Even if you have no passengers in your car, if you have the App open you are working.
Now they also are requesting in many states that you have commercial insurance and a commercial license. "Kind of took the air out of it".
And the last straw was that they are telling me that I cannot carry my own gun, in my own car. Which is complete bull crap, since they are encouraging you to work the prime hours from 9pm to 3 AM. The perfect time for some idiot to rob you.
I could even understand it if it was their car. But it's not their car, or their life. And if you turn away "even a bunch of drunks" , like a cab would do. you are looking at a suspension or being fired. I have already sent a half dozen emails to them explaining the stupidity of what happens in Gun Free Zones, and that I won't comply with this, and have not received an answer other than they are looking into it.
