On Wednesday, the world's largest ride-sharing company Uber launched a one-of-its-kind initiative which will cover rider insurance at no extra cost. Uber launched the insurance cover in partnership with Bharti AXA and TATA AIG. This new initiative will cover all riders in cars, autos, and motor vehicles up to a maximum of Rs 5,00,000 lakhs in case of an accident on a trip.

The insurance provides cover for physical injury as a result of any accident that might occur while on a trip with Uber, from the point the rider enters the vehicle until the end of the trip. Uber has partnered with Bharti AXA and TATA AIG for this insurance initiative.
