Is Uber about to get safer?
– moneysense.ca
(Pablo Martnez/Getty Images)Fans of Uber, the app-based service that connects passengers with amateur drivers who charge cheap rates, may have been surprised to hear the firm’s working with Intact Financial to develop a new insurance plan for ride-sharing in Canada.

Right now, Uber claims riders on the uberX platform in Canada are backed by $5,000,000 of contingent auto liability insurance—but as insurance broker Adam Mitchell notes, that coverage is only designed to protect Uber in a lawsuit (not you). As for the new Intact policy, Mitchell doesn’t expect it to come out for at least six months to a year.
