Aviva is rolling out insurance for those who want to drive for Uber. Should be based on amount driven, location and driving record. Ontario first, then the rest of Canada.
Should be funny to watch what BS the cab companies start spewing when their "Uber is unsafe because of no insurance" spiel isn't true anymore. I'd say it will be something along the lines of "Our fares are set. Never mind you can barely ever get a ride during peak times or you run a good risk of a ####ty ride, the fare is set".
Unfortunately, Calgary city council is probably to try to word the bylaw in such a way that it makes it pointless to drive for Uber, insurance or not.
