The company also carries a supplemental $100,000 policy covering the whenever the driver has the app on but hasn't accepted a fare (and really only takes effect when the driver's personal insurance doesn't cover the liability). California’s insurance commissioner announced on Monday that he has approved the first auto insurance policy specifically for Lyft drivers who have a passenger in the car. The product from MetLife Auto & Home insurance is the first insurance policy in California that individually covers drivers (rather than the company) for app-based ride booking services like Uber and Lyft who have accepted a ride and have a passenger in the car. “Drivers are increasingly using ride-sharing apps to make money while they wait at home or work — but this new option will help them get paid when they’re not driving their car,” said Insurance
