Allstate Expands Protection for Uber Driver-Partners, Riders to 11 More States

For the past year, Allstate has partnered with Uber Technologies, Inc. to provide commercial insurance protection to riders and drivers in Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin. Coverage now expands to Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The policies, managed by Allstate Business Insurance, insure the entire cycle of an Uber trip, from when a driver-partner turns on the Uber app, to rider pick up and during the trip. Riders are protected under the Allstate policies at no additional cost every time they take an Uber. Allstate’s expanded commercial coverage for Uber also includes its fast-growing food delivery service in certain states. “We know consumers are embracing the sharing economy,” said Allstate Executive Vice President Tom Troy. “We want to grow by protecting people from life’s uncertainties, including those within this emerging market. We’re excited to expand our partnership with Uber and bring Allstate’s legacy of safety to even more people.”
