All Yandex.Taxi and Uber rides in Russia are now covered by insurance. Insurance covers the time while you are carrying out an order and transporting a rider. Drivers don't need to pay for insurance or activate any special options.
The maximum insurance payout is 2,000,000 rubles.
What's covered by insurance?
The insurance covers the life and health of everyone inside the vehicle at the time of an accident. If you accepted an order from Yandex.Taxi or Uber and subsequently got into an accident while transporting a rider, you will get an insurance payout even if you were at fault for causing the accident.
Please note that damage to vehicles is not covered by ride insurance.
What should I do at the scene of an accident?
— If you had a passenger and someone was injured in the accident, please call 112 and report what happened.
— Be sure to wait until the traffic police and ambulance arrive. If you were taken from the scene of the accident in an ambulance, the hospital staff must inform the traffic police that you have been transported from the scene.
— Ask the traffic police staff to give you the time and place of your accident investigation.
How do I receive the insurance payout?
— Send a request to the Yandex.Taxi support team. A member of our support team will relay your request to the insurance company.
— Then follow the instructions provided by insurance company employees.
— If the documents are in order, you will receive your payout within two weeks.
What documents do I need to submit?
— Insurance claim. The form will be provided by the insurance company.
— Certificate of injury sustained during accident, hospital discharge record, or report from your medical file. You should receive them at the clinic or trauma center where you are treated.
— Traffic police documents: incident report and court ruling or decision.
