The initiative, which is free to drivers, is funded by a 2.5% surcharge on all rider fees paid to The Black Car Fund who pays for benefits including annual eye exams, access to telemedicine, and safety and wellness classes.

The Independent Drivers Guilds has arranged discounts on prescriptions, legal assistance, accident support, dental discounts and more.

The benefits can be availed by drivers of rideshare services such as Lyft and Uber or drivers of Black Car services such as Juno and Vital.

INSHUR CEO Dan Bratshpis said, “Our mission is to change the way drivers feel about insurance and so being able to offer access to Drivers Benefits to our customers was really important to us.
