5. Insurance coverage details

The Driver agrees to insure their vehicle in accordance with applicable laws and to verify the validity of their insurance before each trip.

Driver & Passenger Protection

It is the responsibility of each driver and passenger to verify with their insurance company that they are covered during carpooling. For drivers with company vehicles, it is also their responsibility to verify that their insurance policies cover all passengers during a carpool trip. The driver and passenger are informed that their insurance companies may refuse to cover damages caused in any incident while using a private vehicle for commercial purposes. The member accepts full financial responsibility for any uncovered insurance claim that may arise from an incident and agrees that MuuVZ is in no way liable.
