When do you need rideshare insurance in Arizona?

Drivers in Arizona who work for a transportation network company (TNC), such as Uber or Lyft, may want to consider buying rideshare insurance for more protection on the road.

Your personal car insurance policy generally won’t cover you while you’re driving for a TNC, since ridesharing qualifies as commercial use of your vehicle. Many insurers offer rideshare coverage as an endorsement to your personal policy, helping bridge coverage gaps while you’re completing rideshare services.

Under Arizona state law, either the TNC or the TNC driver, or both, must carry car insurance that meets state liability requirements. Your coverage depends on which phase of driving you’re in.[1]

Full-coverage rates for rideshare drivers start at $136/mo.

Rideshare insurance requirements in Arizona

Rideshare drivers in Arizona must have a personal auto policy with at least the state’s required minimum liability coverage: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury liability and $15,000 for property damage liability (25/50/15).[2]

Arizona has higher minimum coverage requirements for rideshare drivers once they’ve accepted a ride, and even higher requirements once they have a passenger in their vehicle. State law requires either the TNC, the driver, or both to maintain this coverage, but Uber and Lyft both extend coverage to their rideshare drivers in Arizona.

Here’s how much coverage Uber and Lyft provide during different parts of ridesharing:

  • Phase 1: Arizona rideshare drivers will receive at least 50/100/25 in third-party liability coverage from Uber and at least 50/100/20 from Lyft.

  • Phases 2–3: Both Uber and Lyft cover at least $1 million for property damage and injuries when you’re at fault. If you have collision and comprehensive coverage, they may also cover your vehicle repair costs, with a $2,500 deductible.

Arizona also requires rideshare drivers to have $25,000 per person and $75,000 per accident in uninsured motorist bodily injury liability coverage through a rideshare endorsement, your TNC insurance, or a commercial auto policy.[3]

Below, you can learn more about what coverage applies during each phase of rideshare driving in Arizona.

Phase 3Driving your passenger to their destinationOnNo, not without a rideshare add-onYes$1 million per accident in liability coverageRecommended

Even though Uber and Lyft provide the required liability insurance in Arizona, purchasing your own rideshare coverage can provide additional protection and limit your out-of-pocket costs. If you’re unsure how much coverage you need, speak to an insurance agent.

Cost of rideshare insurance in Arizona

Arizona drivers with a rideshare insurance endorsement pay $209 per month for a personal full-coverage policy. For comparison, the average cost of full coverage without rideshare insurance in Arizona is $163 per month.

The cheapest insurance company for rideshare coverage in Arizona is State Farm, with an average monthly full-coverage rate of $110, according to Insurify data. Rideshare endorsements are typically cheaper than stand-alone commercial policies.

The average cost of car insurance in Arizona for rideshare drivers is slightly above average compared to other states, which might be partly due to Arizona’s above-average traffic fatality rate.[4]

State Farm Premiums Aren’t Great
First, I had to pick something above for claims, but I’ve never had a claim. Next, State Farm has raised rates so much it’s crazy. I drive under 100 miles a year, so no insurance is priced right for my habits. But I lease and need full insurance with high limits. I have an 850 FICO score, no claims in 20 years, and only one driver. I dropped State Farm for Progressive.

State Farm has one of the lowest average rates for rideshare coverage in Arizona. State Farm’s rideshare coverage generally adds about 15%–20% to your existing premium. The endorsement works with Uber and Lyft, with an important exception: It doesn’t cover Uber Black or Lyft Black, which require commercial auto policies.

Pros
  • Competitive rates

  • Offers various discounts

  • Above-average J.D. Power claims satisfaction score

Cons
  • Doesn’t cover Uber Black or Lyft Black

USAA policyholders have access to guaranteed repairs at many USAA-approved locations in the event of vehicle damage.

Pros
  • Can add to your existing USAA auto policy

  • Guaranteed repairs at more than 2,900 USAA-approved locations

  • Customizable deductibles

Cons

  • Rates aren’t as low as some other insurers

Rideshare insurance FAQs

Below, you can learn more about Arizona rideshare insurance.

What’s the difference between rideshare and commercial auto insurance in Arizona?

Arizona rideshare insurance is for drivers who use their personal vehicles while working for companies like Uber and Lyft. Drivers typically add rideshare insurance to a personal auto policy as an endorsement. Commercial insurance, which businesses generally purchase as a separate policy, covers vehicles primarily used for business purposes.

Can you buy rideshare insurance separately in Arizona?

You can buy separate rideshare insurance in Arizona, but it’s typically cheaper to add the coverage to your personal auto policy, assuming your existing insurer offers it.

How does rideshare insurance work in Arizona?

Rideshare insurance helps fill coverage gaps between your personal auto insurance and the insurance your ridesharing company provides. Coverage varies by phase, such as before or during a ride. So, if you’re in a car accident, the coverage that kicks in depends on the phase of your rideshare trip.

What are Arizona’s minimum car insurance requirements?

Arizona’s minimum car insurance requirements include $25,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per accident, and $15,000 of property damage liability coverage.

What are the best rideshare insurance companies in Arizona?

Progressive, State Farm, and USAA are among the best rideshare car insurance companies in Arizona.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 250 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
