Colorado Springs Auto Insurance Requirements

Colorado law requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance:

  • $25,000 bodily injury per person

  • $50,000 bodily injury per accident

  • $15,000 property damage

However, we strongly recommend higher limits. Medical costs and vehicle repairs often exceed these minimums, leaving you financially exposed.

  • Classic cars and collectibles

  • Commercial vehicles

  • Rideshare drivers (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash)

Uber, Lyft, and rideshare insurance in Colorado Springs

A personal auto policy usually does not cover you while you are logged into Uber, Lyft, or a similar app. Colorado law lets personal policies exclude that time. The company provides some coverage only in certain periods, and the gaps are where claims get denied.

If you drive for Uber or Lyft in Colorado Springs, you typically need a rideshare endorsement on your personal auto policy. If the vehicle is used mainly for hire, we look at commercial auto instead.

The periods that matter

Coverage changes based on what the app is doing, not just “I drive Uber.”

  • App off: your personal auto policy applies, the same as any other personal use.

  • App on, waiting for a request: many personal policies exclude this. Company coverage in this window is often limited. This is the common gap.

  • Ride accepted, heading to pick someone up, and while a passenger is in the car: the company typically provides liability. Collision and comprehensive on your own vehicle still depend on the company’s current program and your own policy.

Ask us to read your declarations page and the company’s current driver coverage summary. Limits and exclusions change.

DoorDash and food delivery

Food and package delivery is not the same as transporting passengers. A rideshare endorsement written for Uber or Lyft may not cover DoorDash, Instacart, or Amazon Flex. Some carriers offer a delivery endorsement. Some will not write the use at all. Tell us which apps you drive so we shop the right form.

What to bring

Year, make, and model, which apps you use, about how many hours a week, and your current auto declarations page. We will tell you what we can shop. Call 719-309-6439 or request a quote.

Does my car insurance cover Uber or Lyft?

Usually not once the app is on. Personal auto is built for personal use. Colorado lets carriers exclude TNC driving. We check the actual policy and add a rideshare or delivery endorsement when a carrier will write it.

Insurance availability, forms, and coverage vary by insurer. This is general information, not legal advice.

Classic and collector car insurance in Colorado Springs

A regular auto policy is built for a daily driver. It usually settles a total loss at actual cash value, and many carriers will not write, or will not properly value, a classic, antique, or collector car on that form. If the car is a hobby vehicle, you typically want a collector policy with an agreed value, not a depreciating ACV number.

Agreed value vs actual cash value

Agreed value is the number you and the company lock in up front, usually from photos, comps, or an appraisal. If the car is a total loss, that is the number the policy is built around, subject to the form. Actual cash value is today’s market minus depreciation. On a restored Mustang or a well-kept pickup, those two numbers are not the same conversation.

What the policy has to match

Collector forms usually expect pleasure use and limited mileage, not a commute and not Uber. They often ask where the car is stored (garage vs carport vs street), whether it is your only vehicle, and what you have added (paint, engine, interior, wheels). Colorado Springs hail is why enclosed storage matters on the application, not just on show day.

Eligibility is not one age cutoff. Some markets want 25 years. Some will look at newer special-interest or replica cars. We will tell you what we can shop.

What to bring

Year, make, model, VIN if you have it, about how many miles you drive it a year, where it is stored, and recent photos (and an appraisal if you have one). We will tell you what we can shop. Call 719-309-6439 or request a quote.

Does regular car insurance cover a classic car?

Sometimes it will list the vehicle. That does not mean the settlement will match what you have in it. If it is a collector car, we look at agreed-value markets first.

Insurance availability, forms, and coverage vary by insurer. This is general information, not a promise that every vehicle qualifies.
