Ridesharing continues to surge in popularity. As the industry grows, it’s revolutionizing the mobility and transportation space. This means there are evolving liability insurance needs for drivers.

October 1, State Farm® will serve as the exclusive insurance provider for Lyft and their drivers and passengers in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, S. Carolina and Tennessee.

Under the policy, Lyft drivers are covered from the moment a driver turns on the Lyft app to wait for a trip request, while driving to pick up a rider and until the trip ends. Lyft riders are also protected during the trip.
