• Obtaining appropriate commercial rideshare insurance coverage
• Maintaining said coverage in full force and effect at all times
• All costs associated with your vehicle, including repairs, maintenance, and insurance premiums

6.2 Minimum Required Coverage

To operate on the GYR-Rides Platform, you MUST maintain insurance coverage that meets or exceeds the following minimums:

RIDESHARE ENDORSEMENT OR COMMERCIAL POLICY REQUIRED: Standard personal auto insurance policies typically EXCLUDE coverage when you are using your vehicle for commercial purposes such as rideshare. You must obtain either: (a) a rideshare endorsement/rider on your personal policy, or (b) a commercial auto insurance policy that covers TNC/rideshare activity.

6.3 Proof of Insurance — Upload and Maintain

• Timely Updates: Upload updated proof of insurance at least seven (7) days before your current policy expires
• Policy Changes: Immediately update your insurance information if you change carriers, policy numbers, or coverage levels
• Upon Request: Provide proof of insurance upon request by GYR-Rides, law enforcement, regulatory authorities, or Riders

6.4 Insurance Expiration or Cancellation — Account Pause

You will not be able to go online, accept rides, or access driver features until valid proof of insurance is uploaded and verified.

• Automatic Pause: If our system detects that your insurance has expired or you fail to upload renewed proof of insurance, your account will be automatically paused
• No Driving: While paused, you cannot log in as available, accept ride requests, or earn fares

6.5 Consequences of Driving Without Valid Insurance

If you provide Transportation Services without valid insurance coverage:

• Your account will be immediately and permanently deactivated
• You assume all liability for any accidents, injuries, damages, or claims arising from your uninsured operation
• You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GYR-Rides from any and all claims, lawsuits, damages, judgments, costs, and attorney's fees arising from your failure to maintain required insurance
• GYR-Rides may report your uninsured operation to state regulatory authorities

GYR-Rides reserves the right to:

• Verify the validity of your insurance coverage with your insurance carrier
• Require additional documentation to confirm coverage
• Reject proof of insurance that does not meet minimum requirements
• Conduct periodic audits of driver insurance compliance
