Uber & Old Mutual to offer drivers and riders insurance cover




Uber drivers and riders will from December 21, 2018 enjoy an Injury Protection cover, provided by Old Mutual Ghana.

Per the agreement, all Uber driver-partners will benefit from this cover from the moment they accept a trip - while driving to pick up a rider, and until the trip ends; while riders will also be covered from the time their ride begins, until the trip ends.

The packages include:
Medical Cover: If an accident happens On-Trip, this cover reimburses drivers and riders for necessary medical treatment costs up to GH¢12,500. In addition, this cover reimburses ambulance service costs.

Death and Funeral Payments: In the unfortunate event that a driver-partner or rider dies as a result of an accident On-Trip, their dependents or heirs will benefit from a lump-sum payment of GH¢50,000. They will also obtain an amount of GH¢5,000 for funeral expenses.

Permanent Disability Payments: In the unfortunate event that a user suffers a permanent disability as a result of an accident On-Trip, they will benefit from a lump-sum payment up to GH¢50,000. The amount depends on the severity of the disability.

Daily Payment Benefit for Drivers (injury): If a driver is hospitalised for more than 48 hours as a result of an accident that happened On-Trip, and are thereafter unable to drive because of those injuries, they will receive a daily payment of GH¢50 for up to 30 days while they are medically certified by a doctor as unfit to work.
