Insurance Basics for Carpool Hosts in Pakistan
Does your car insurance cover passengers? What hosts need to know before listing trips.
Know your coverage before you host
If you're driving passengers, understanding your insurance is important.
Standard comprehensive insurance
Most Pakistani comprehensive policies cover the vehicle and driver. Passenger liability coverage varies by insurer.
What to check
- Does your policy cover carrying fare-paying passengers?
- Is there a passenger liability limit?
- Does ride-sharing affect your premium?
Waymate's approach
Waymate trips are cost-sharing arrangements, not commercial taxi services. However, we recommend hosts confirm their coverage with their insurer.
Best practice
Keep your insurance current, your vehicle maintained, and your licence valid. These basics protect you and your passengers.
