The gig economy has created a genuine insurance gap that I talk about with clients regularly. Personal auto policies typically exclude or limit coverage for delivery driving. The platform's insurance exists, but it only covers certain periods and has limits. Understanding exactly when you're covered, and by whom , is critical for anyone driving for income.

Frequently asked questions
Does my personal auto insurance cover me while I deliver for DoorDash or Uber Eats in NC?
Usually not fully. Most personal auto policies exclude or significantly limit coverage during commercial delivery activity. The personal policy is designed for personal use, once you're delivering for pay, you may be in a coverage gap.
What insurance does DoorDash or Uber Eats provide for NC drivers?
These platforms provide some liability coverage while you have an active delivery in progress. Coverage before you accept an order (app on, waiting) is typically minimal or absent. Coverage between orders (app on, order delivered, waiting for the next) is a known gap.
What is a rideshare endorsement and does it help delivery drivers?
A rideshare endorsement is an add-on to your personal auto policy that extends coverage during the gig platform's Period 1 (app on, no active order). Some carriers offer delivery driver endorsements as well. The cost is modest, typically $15-$50 per year added to your personal policy.
Does IronHaven help gig workers and delivery drivers find proper NC auto coverage?
Yes. IronHaven can identify carriers that offer rideshare or delivery driver endorsements in NC, closing the gap between your personal policy and the platform's coverage.
