Rideshare Claims Process

1

Determine which coverage applies

Was the TNC app active (on) or inactive (off) at the time of the loss? This determines whether the TNC or Pouch/FAC covers the claim.

2

Call the correct claims line

If the app was OFF — call FAC (above). If the app was ON — contact the TNC platform (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, or Amazon Flex) directly for their coverage.

3

Report to your fleet owner

Drivers must notify the fleet owner immediately after any incident. Fleet owners are responsible for notifying Pouch/FAC.

4

Submit telematics data

FAC may request telematics logs to confirm app-active vs. off-platform status at the time of the incident. Your data is already captured.

5

Adjuster assigned & investigation

FAC assigns an adjuster for all confirmed off-platform claims. Liability-only — no physical damage is covered under this program.

What to Expect

App-status verification first

FAC will verify telematics data to confirm the app was off at the time of the loss before processing the claim.

Liability only — no physical damage

This program covers off-platform liability exposure only. Vehicle damage is not covered. Do not expect physical damage payout.

Fleet owner notification required

Pouch may notify the fleet owner of any unsafe driving behavior revealed during the claims process per program terms.

App Was ON? Contact the TNC — Not Pouch.

If the TNC app was active at the time of the incident, the TNC platform (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Amazon Flex) is the primary coverage provider. Do not file with FAC for on-platform losses.

No Physical Damage Coverage

This is a liability-only program. Comprehensive and Collision are not available. Vehicle damage to your own fleet vehicles is not covered under this policy — at any time.

Telematics Data Is Used in Claims

App-active vs. off-platform status is verified via telematics. Ensure all drivers keep their devices plugged in at all times. Missing device data may complicate or delay your claim.

State Minimum Limits Only

Coverage under this program does not exceed state minimum liability limits. If a claim exceeds state minimums, the excess is the insured's responsibility.

TNC Platform Claims — If the App Was ON

When an incident occurs while a driver is actively on a TNC platform, file directly with that platform. Here are their claims starting points:

Uber

help.uber.com → Trips → Report

Lyft

help.lyft.com → Report Accident

DoorDash

help.doordash.com → Accidents

Amazon Flex

flex.amazon.com → Report Incident

Things good to know about claims.

Across both programs, here's what applies to every Pouch policyholder.

Don't admit fault

Never admit liability at the scene of an accident — verbally or in writing. Exchange information only. Liability is determined through the claims investigation process, not at the scene.

Document everything, immediately

Take photos before vehicles are moved if safe to do so. Capture all damage, all vehicles involved, license plates, road conditions, skid marks, and any relevant signage. More is always better.

Report promptly

Report the loss to Pouch/your carrier as soon as safely possible — the same day if you can. Delayed reporting can complicate the investigation and may affect your coverage outcome.

Get the police report

If law enforcement responds to the scene, always request the incident report number before leaving. If they don't respond, you may be able to file a report at your local police department or DMV.

Limit social media posts

Do not post about an accident, injuries, or the incident on social media while a claim is open. These posts can be discoverable and may affect your claim's outcome.

Keep your adjuster informed

Respond promptly to your adjuster's calls and emails. Provide requested documents quickly. The faster information flows, the faster your claim resolves.

Claims FAQ

Common claims questions.

Artisan

My vehicle was damaged. Is physical damage covered?

Only if you selected Comprehensive and/or Collision coverage when your policy was issued. Both are optional under the Artisan program. Check your declarations page to confirm. All physical damage is settled on an ACV (Actual Cash Value) basis — stated value is not available.

Rideshare

My driver had an accident while on a DoorDash delivery. What do I do?

If the DoorDash app was active at the time of the incident, this is an on-platform loss — file directly with DoorDash, not Pouch/FAC. The Micro-Fleet Rideshare FAC program only covers off-platform exposure (app off). FAC will verify app status via telematics data.

Both Programs

How long does a claim typically take to resolve?

Simple liability-only claims with clear documentation can resolve in 15–30 days. More complex claims involving injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties may take longer. Your adjuster will keep you updated throughout the process.

Artisan

The other driver was at fault. Will my rates go up?

Not-at-fault accidents are treated differently from at-fault accidents in our rating model. Contact Pouch Underwriting at (844) 768-2448 Press 3 to discuss how a specific incident may affect your renewal.

Rideshare

My driver's telematics device wasn't installed at the time of the loss. What happens?

Missing telematics data is a serious issue under the Micro-Fleet program. Without device data, it may be difficult to verify off-platform status, which could complicate your claim. Contact FAC and Pouch immediately and explain the situation. Ensure all vehicles have active telematics at all times.

Both Programs

Can I choose my own repair shop?

For Artisan Contractor Comp/Collision claims, your adjuster will explain approved repair options. For Rideshare — physical damage is not covered under this program, so repair shop selection is not applicable through Pouch/FAC.
