Does driving for Uber Eats affect insurance?

One of my friends told me that he was making about $200 a day driving for Uber Eats. I’m in need of some extra money, so I think I might give it a go. I’m just worried that it may cause an increase in my insurance. Will driving for Uber Eats affect my insurance?

Uber Eats is a novel way to supplement your income. But while you’re going to earn some extra cash, you also might lose a little bit. Driving for Uber Eats affects your
car insurance
by increasing your premiums.
The reason that your premiums increase is due to two factors:
  • You spend more miles on the road, so insurers assume that you’re more likely to file a claim.
  • You need
    rideshare insurance
    . Although typically only a few extra bucks a month, it can add up over an annual basis.
You don’t want to eat into your profits of driving for Uber Eats with a pricey car insurance policy. So if you haven’t shopped around for car insurance in a while, download the
