Yes. Comprehensive insurance is included in every weekly hire rate. You are covered from the moment you collect the vehicle. All terms are explained clearly before you commit.
Can I do both personal trips and rideshare driving?
Yes. There are no restrictions on how you use the vehicle during your hire period. Whether you're running Uber shifts on weekdays and using the car personally on weekends — it's yours to use freely.
