Laws and Insurance Policies in Lancaster, PA
Taxi
Laws and regulations surrounding taxis are different than those surrounding Uber and Lyft. In Philadelphia, for example, taxi cabs are authorized by the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA). Taxis are regulated and must have a license to operate. UberBLACK, UberSUV, and uberTAXI are similar to taxis in that they are commercially licensed and covered by commercial insurance policies.
Uber and Lyft
Uber, UberX, UberPool, and Lyft are different in that nonprofessional drivers use their own cars to transport passengers. Because of this, insurance policies are different. Drivers have their own insurance policy because it’s their personal car. These services are not authorized by the PPA.
As of March 2022, Uber has an insurance policy with $1 million of third-party liability coverage per incident. They also have $1 million of uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage per incident.
Lyft also has an insurance policy with a $1 million per accident limit. Lyft’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage will apply up to $1 million per accident.
