LOUISVILLE, Ky. -

After initially launching this spring, RideShare Knight offered more details about its vehicle service contract for Uber and Lyft drivers working in the ride-sharing economy today, launching a total of seven coverage plans.

Including multiple tiered plan options within each new coverage package, RideShare Knight explained that it is working to develop as many levels of protection as possible for the millions of independent drivers in the ride-sharing economy today.

“Right now, there are millions of individuals making a living as a ride-sharing driver, with no extended warranty for their vehicle,” said Max Zanan, founder and chief executive officer of RideShare Knight.

“While on the job, if they have a mechanical breakdown, Uber and Lyft are not liable for damages, instead making the driver absorb the cost of repairs. We now have plans for vehicles with up to 150,000 miles,” Zanan continued.

Complete extended warranties are available for current model year vehicles plus four years with up to 60,000 miles. The complete tier has three levels of coverage: platinum, gold and silver.

Flex extended warranties are available for any model year vehicles with 60,000 to 150,000 miles. The flex plan tier has four levels of coverage: preferred, select, powertrain plus and powertrain.

RideShare Knight claims that it is the first Uber extended warranty and Lyft extended warranty of its kind, providing independent drivers with the coverage they need to be protected on the road. By working with RideShare Knight coverage, these drivers now receive 24-hour roadside assistance, nationwide coverage, accessibility to all licensed mechanics, 0 percent APR financing and transferrable options to new vehicle owners.

“We want to ensure ride-sharing drivers are equipped against costly repairs with our variety of coverage plans today,” Zanan said. “We also want to expand vehicle eligibility to provide coverage to as many drivers as possible.”
