Start With How Passengers Are Booked, Transported, and Charged<\/h1>\n

Livery operations can look similar from the outside while creating very different insurance exposures. Prearranged transportation, app-based rides, metered service, non-emergency medical transportation, executive car service, charter operations, contracted transportation, and scheduled routes may be classified differently.<\/p>\n

\n

The right classification often depends on who the passengers are, how trips are arranged, whether service is open to the public, how fares are charged, what contracts are in place, and what type of vehicles are used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Operation Guide<\/div>\n

How Is the Passenger Service Arranged?<\/h2>\n

One of the first classification questions is how customers request transportation and whether trips are arranged in advance, requested through an app, hailed directly, or provided under an ongoing contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Prearranged Service<\/h3>\n

Trips are generally reserved before pickup through a phone call, website, dispatcher, reservation system, or other booking process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

App-Based Service<\/h3>\n

Passengers request rides through a digital platform or mobile application that connects riders with available drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Metered or On-Demand Service<\/h3>\n

Fares may be based on time, mileage, a meter, zone, or other public-service rate structure, and trips may not always be booked well in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Passenger Service Type<\/div>\n

Who You Transport Can Be Just as Important as How They Book<\/h2>\n

The purpose of the trip, passenger type, service model, and vehicle configuration can all affect how a livery account is evaluated.<\/p>\n

A sedan providing executive airport transportation can have a different exposure from a van transporting medical passengers or a bus operating scheduled group transportation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Medical Transportation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-emergency medical transportation may involve passengers traveling to medical appointments, treatment centers, dialysis, rehabilitation, or other healthcare-related destinations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Executive Transportation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Executive sedan, black car, chauffeur, airport, and corporate transportation may involve prearranged service for business or private clients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chartered Service
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chartered transportation may involve a vehicle and driver hired for a specific group, event, itinerary, tour, shuttle, or private trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Contracted Transportation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

A business may provide recurring transportation under contract for a hotel, employer, school, healthcare organization, government agency, or other organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Classification Review<\/div>\n

What Information Helps Determine the Right Livery Classification?<\/h2>\n

Insurance companies may ask detailed questions about how the operation works before deciding which livery classification, rating approach, or coverage structure applies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Scheduled Routes
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transportation operating at set times or between established stops may be evaluated differently from fully prearranged point-to-point service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Passenger Capacity
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sedans, SUVs, vans, limousines, minibuses, and buses can create different passenger and liability exposures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fare & Contract Structure
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insurers may consider whether passengers pay per trip, through a meter or app, under a corporate contract, through a medical program, or as part of a charter arrangement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Operating Territory
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local service, airport trips, interstate travel, city driving, scheduled routes, and longer-distance passenger transportation can influence underwriting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Do not choose a livery classification based only on the vehicle.<\/strong> Two businesses using similar vans or sedans may be classified differently because one provides medical transportation while another provides executive, app-based, chartered, contracted, or scheduled passenger service.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
