🚗💥 Uber/Lyft 車禍:乘客有哪些保險?什麼時候會賠、不會賠?
許多人天天搭 Uber 或 Lyft,但真正發生車禍時,乘客到底能不能獲得賠償?這篇文章幫你把複雜的 ride-share 保險制度,用最簡單、最實用的方式解釋清楚。
🧩 一、乘客保險由三層組成
- Uber/Lyft 平台責任保險(Platform Liability)
✓ 司機 App「ON」+「已接單」時啟動
✓ 通常提供 $1M Liability(每州可能不同)
- 司機的個人汽車保險(Driver’s Personal Auto Policy)
✓ 很多司機 沒有 專門的 rideshare endorsement
✓ 若司機沒有買,保險公司可能「拒賠」
- 對方肇事者的保險(At-fault driver insurance)
✓ 若是別的車撞 Uber,你可以向對方要求賠償
🧨 二、乘客最常獲得的賠償項目
- 🚑 醫療費(Medical Bills)
- 💼 誤工費(Lost Wages)
- 📱 財物損失(手機、行李)
- 😣 精神痛苦(Pain & Suffering)
⚠️ 三、哪些情況可能「拒賠」?
- 司機用假帳號、影子司機(shadow driver)
- 司機的保單明確排除 ride-share 用途
- 乘客沒有證據證明自己在車上
- 司機未開啟 App,平台保險未啟動
📝 四、乘客一定要記得做的事
- 📸 拍照(車牌、現場、司機 App 畫面)
- 🧾 拿收據(行程紀錄 + App screenshot)
- 📤 向 Uber/Lyft 報告事故
- 🏥 若有不適,當天就去看醫生(非常重要)
🌎 五、州差異:加州、德州、佛州、紐約
四大州的規定略有不同,但 乘客保護大方向一致:
平台責任險 > 第三方賠償 > 司機個人保險。
💡 結語
乘客通常有最強的保護,但前提是你有保留證據、App 有顯示你在車上。若你常搭 Uber/Lyft,這篇一定要收藏,避免不必要的麻煩。
