[Hidden-tech] Drive for Uber? Or ride with them?

[Lar]

Oh, they've though about it alright.  Like lots of big corporations these days, they figure they can save the huge expense of insurance, social security and workers comp payments, employee benefits, and vehicle maintenance by just using "independent contractors".  When liability issues arise, they claim they are not responsible for any problems related to non-employees.  You are taking a big chance in hoping that nothing ever goes wrong, cause if it does, you are on your own.  The company makes the bucks, while you take the consequences.  This whole thing is likely to unravel over time with state governments and the IRS reacting to problems and tightening regulations.

I really don't think UBER hasn't thought this whole insurance thing out...it would be very surprising for a company valued at $53 billion to not know the work-around for car insurance for their drivers. I think your agent is just scaring you.
