Lyft’s insurance policy could include up to one million dollars in coverage. The way Lyft’s insurance policy applies is discussed below:

• If driver mode is off – if the Lyft driver is involved in an accident when driver mode is off (driving on personal time), there is no insurance coverage other than the driver’s personal insurance or the liable party’s insurance policy.

However, the insurance coverage would be contingent on any other applicable insurance coverage.
