Driving for Uber or Lyft in Idaho? Your personal auto insurance does not cover you while the app is on. You need either a rideshare endorsement ($15-$30/month) or a commercial policy to close the dangerous coverage gap between personal insurance and Uber/Lyft's limited coverage.

The Rideshare Insurance Gap in Idaho
Period 0
App Off: Personal Insurance
Period 1
App On, No Ride: GAP!
Period 2
En Route to Rider: Uber/Lyft
Period 3
Rider in Car: Uber/Lyft
The dangerous gap is Period 1 — when the app is on but you haven't accepted a ride yet. Your personal insurance won't cover you (you're driving commercially), and Uber/Lyft provide only minimal coverage. A rideshare endorsement from your Idaho insurer fills this gap.
Rideshare Insurance Options in Idaho
Rideshare endorsement ($15-$30/mo) — the simplest solution; adds Period 1 coverage to your existing personal policy
Hybrid personal/commercial policy — some carriers offer all-in-one policies designed for rideshare drivers
Full commercial auto policy — most expensive but covers all periods; necessary for full-time drivers
