VOOM Rideshare Insurance does not cover Uber Black services. For Uber Black, drivers are required to have commercial insurance similar to what is needed for taxis, as our policy does not extend to periods 2 and 3 of rideshare driving that Uber Black entails.
Collision means the upset, or collision of any insured motorcycle with another object. Collision Coverage will pay for direct and accidental loss to any Insured Motorcycle and its original factory equipment, caused by a collision. This coverage is subject to a deductible shown on the Declaration Page of your policy.
With VOOM, you only pay for the miles you drive plus a low monthly base rate.
To get started, you send us a photo of your odometer and we calculate the miles . We add those miles at your per-mile rate to your base rate, and that’s what you pay. It really is that simple.
Here is an example - John has a base rate of $15 and a per mile rate of $0.09. He rode 100 miles this month, so his monthly total is $24

By paying a premium for uninsured motorist coverage for the motorcycle listed on your policy, this coverage will pay damages for bodily injury which any insured is legally entitled to recover from the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle. An uninsured motor vehicle means that the driver does not have coverage to pay for damages to others. In some cases the uninsured driver will pay out of pocket, but this is not the standard. For this reason, you can opt to protect yourself from such situations and file a claim through your policy. For this coverage to take effect, the bodily injury must be caused by an accident and arise out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of the uninsured motor vehicle.

This coverage will pay for your bodily injury, sickness, or disease medical expenses suffered in a motorcycle accident while operating by the insured motorcycle, regardless of fault. This includes reasonable and necessary medical, surgical, chiropractic, and dental treatment, professional nursing, hospital, x-ray, ambulance and funeral services, and prosthetic devices. Medical expenses will be paid within one year from the date of the accident and are subject to the declared deductible on the declaration page. Such coverage extends to others operating your motorcycle with your permission, as well as passengers involved.
An updated image of your odometer should be shared 3 times a year. Don't worry, we will send you a reminder just in time.
In case no image was shared your coverage will not be affected and you will be charged a default amount. If an image is shared with lower mileage, your future payments will be adjusted accordingly.
An uninsured motorist is one that does not carry insurance.
An underinsured motorist is one that does not carry enough insurance.

This is exactly what per-mile insurance is for!
While your policy cannot be paused, if you don’t ride, you do not pay the per mile rate, and you have the option of removing any coverages that you are not using, (and that are not mandated by the state or a lienholder) - during that period of time.
With a traditional car insurance policy, when the app is offline, you will always pay a “one size fits all” price, regardless if you are not driving for personal use or if you are driving for Uber Lyft, et al. With VOOM, you will pay only for the miles driven during your personal use.
All VOOM policies are underwritten by Markel Insurance Company.
Our policy specifically excludes any losses that arise from/at an organized event, which would include things like training courses or other track events. However, if you are riding your bike at a track on your own and not part of any event that is taking place, coverage could still be provided.
VOOM policies can be purchased online with a credit card or by ACH payment.
Our payment provider, Stripe, accepts most major credit cards including American Express, Visa, Discovery, and Master Card.
The credit card on file will be billed, and coverage will be continued automatically. You can choose to send a new odometer image every month in order to keep the rate based on your mileage. If not, each month you will be charged based on a default mileage. For more information - How will I be charged if I forget to upload my odometer image?
Renewal will be done on an annual basis.
Yes, the VOOM policy is intended to replace your existing personal auto policy, it covers both your personal use up to the policy limits, as well as other gaps that arise from your Gig work that most traditional policies don't cover.
At the end of each billing period the card on file will be charged and you will get a billing statement via email. This payment is based on the miles reported during that period, as seen through the odometer reading.
You will be covered by the rideshare platform, and in addition VOOM’s policy will provide a deductible cap coverage reducing your out of pocket expenses for the platform's deductible ($2,500)
You will receive a reminder by email and text message, with a link to upload your updated odometer photo. After uploading, you will be charged according to the miles you rode!
If we do not receive your photo within 5 days, you will be charged according to a predefined default mileage of up to 500 miles for that month.
No worries though! This default mileage will be used as a credit for the following months if you actually rode less!
For example, Steve Jones has a policy with an $8 fixed rate and 10c per mile rate.
If Steve rides 100 miles in a particular month, after sending in his odometer reading he will be charged $18
What happens if Steve doesn’t upload his odometer?? He’ll pay a default mileage of 500 miles, meaning he will be charged $58. When he uploads his odometer in the following months, he will not pay for the first 500 miles that have already been paid for.
