Global ride-hailing major Uber on Tuesday rolled out India's first-of-its-kind ride sharing insurance programme that is expected to provide protection to its nearly 4.5 lakh driver-partners across the country.
The accident insurance cover has been rolled out in partnership with ICICI Lombard General Insurance, the largest private sector non-life insurer in the country. It came on a day marking the fourth anniversary of Uber's journey in India.
This insurance policy provides driver-partners free coverage for accidental death and disablement, hospitalisation, and outpatient medical treatment in case of an accident while online on the Uber App and will be available for trip requests, en route or on a trip with Uber.
