Buckle Extends Rideshare Insurance Coverage to Protect Gig Delivery Drivers

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Dec. 15, 2021 - PRLog -- Buckle (http://www.buckleup.com), the inclusive tech-enabled financial services company, is protecting gig drivers by extending its signature rideshare and delivery auto insurance to those who drive in various U.S. regions for leading companies like Uber (https://www.uber.com/), Lyft (https://www.lyft.com/), Instacart (http://www.instacart.com), Amazon Flex (https://flex.amazon.com/), Uber Eats (https://www.ubereats.com/), Grubhub (https://www.grubhub.com/), Favor (https://www.favordelivery.com/), and others. Buckle is the only insurance company in the U.S. designed specifically to protect gig economy drivers, providing coverage for personal, rideshare, and delivery in a single policy at affordable rates.

"One of the fastest growing occupations in the U.S., delivery drivers are in high demand and they need comprehensive and affordable insurance coverage fast," said Sharon Fernandez, Head of Insurance at Buckle. "Extending our rideshare insurance, that provides both commercial and personal coverage in one affordable policy to include food and package delivery companies, means peace of mind for gig drivers during the busy holiday season and beyond when they can't afford to lose their car following an accident."

Texas-based food delivery service, Favor, has recently partnered with the company, making Buckle's gig insurance available to their drivers in over 130 cities across Texas. "With Buckle, our Runners can now get auto insurance tailored to their specific needs as gig economy delivery drivers," said Jesse Jarvis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesse-jarvis-3baa7162/), Favor's Runner Community Liaison. "Runners are at the heart of Favor, and we are thrilled to provide easy access to an affordable insurance option that offers combined coverage on the road – whether they are delivering with Favor or driving for personal use."

"For years, gig workers have been left out in the cold when it comes to adequate delivery insurance," said Harry Campbell (https://www.linkedin.com/in/harrygcampbell/), Founder at The Rideshare Guy (http://therideshareguy.com/). "Drivers have typically had to rely on their personal insurance coverage, but many of the top insurers do not cover them in the event of an accident. Buckle has been a leader when it comes to rideshare insurance, and they are now bringing that peace of mind to delivery drivers across the country with their new gig auto insurance."

For a limited time in December, eligible rideshare and delivery drivers who complete a successful quote will receive a $20 digital gift card (https://www.buckleup.com/december). Buckle also assists with cancelling old policies so making the switch is easy in addition to saving money while gaining better coverage.
