California Rideshare Insurance for Uber and Lyft Drivers
Farmers is the only insurance that will insure both Lyft and Uber drivers. This is usually the most affordable option. Metlife will only insure Lyft drivers and Metromile only insures Uber drivers. Metromile will be a good option if you drive less than 7000 miles a year.
