NRMA Insurance has welcomed the ACT Government’s decision to regulate ridesharing, enabling shared economy providers to operate legally in Canberra, the first Australian jurisdiction to do so.
“We commend the ACT Government on being the first to provide clarity and consistency in the regulatory treatment of ridesharing services. This will better protect drivers and passengers, provide a level playing field for traditional transport providers and ultimately raise the bar for safety in the broader transport industry,” NRMA Insurance executive general manager, Product & Underwriting, Tracy Green said.
“As an insurer, our first priority is to protect our customers and meet the changing needs of Australians, which is why we provide cover for people who use their cars for Uber X. Ridesharing is here to stay, and we’re pleased that the ACT Government is taking steps to formally integrate this emerging form of transport.”
