The plan, approved by the Ontario Insurance Supervisory Authority this week, is complete with legal hovering overdrivers. It also makes Ontario's second Canadian booth is given to Alberta's approval of a policy of tailor-made services to provide driving groups despite concerns about unbalanced schemes and the cost of taxi drivers.
The Ontario Financial Services Commission (FSCO, for its abbreviation in English) said that the "cover fleet" of Intact Insurance "eliminates the expulsion from paying passengers" and addresses them to a "critical gap insurance" for the industry. The new plan includes liability to $ 2 million, according to Intact.

Smith said, however, that drivers still buy UberX policy independently.

Intact senior vice president Karim Hirji insisted, Uber, the company buys the policy.
"We are selling the policy over, paid for the premiums," said Hirji. "No matter who the driver is, as long as the journey is made in the Uber platform, this trip is covered by our policy."
