As anyone who's ever put together a trip budget knows, daily expenses like rideshares, train fare, and refreshments can quickly add up to a staggering final cost. So it's worth making a habit of every little thing you can do to save cash while traveling. But according to a new study, most Uber and Lyft users skip a seconds-long step that could save them on every ride.
Rideshare is my side hustle. I grew up on Kauai, Hawaii, and spent years on the US mainland. In 2017, I moved to Honolulu. My main business is selling products from Hawaii, such as mochi crunch cookies, on Amazon. When I'm not doing that, I drive for Lyft and Uber. Tourism is a big industry here, and there are plenty of rides to take.
The commercial auto insurance industry has long struggled to adapt to the rapidly evolving on-demand economy, leaving millions of rideshare and delivery drivers underserved by traditional providers that weren't designed for their unique needs.
"Drivers are running on fumes, feeling exploited, while passengers are frustrated by surge pricing and a lack of transparency. It became clear: The rideshare industry needs a fundamental shift towards fairness for everyone involved."
