Damage Protection for Rideshare Drivers — Uber, Lyft, & Gig Drivers | CarShake
Rideshare drivers put their personal vehicles on the line every shift. One passenger incident — a spilled drink, a scratched door panel, a torn seat — can mean days of lost income fighting the platform's claims process. CarShake gives drivers timestamped, verifiable proof of their vehicle's condition.
Why rideshare drivers use CarShake
Uber and Lyft cover damage, but the claims process requires evidence. Without timestamped photos, a driver's word against a passenger's is a slow, uncertain path. CarShake solves this with a 60-second scan routine: snap the car before your shift starts, scan again after any trip where something might have happened, and you have an unbroken chain of timestamped evidence.
Drivers who use CarShake report that disputed cleaning fees and damage claims are resolved in hours instead of weeks — because the evidence is already there.
How it works for gig drivers
- Pre-shift scan: a 60-second guided walk-around captures your vehicle's condition before you accept your first ride.
- Post-incident scan: if you suspect damage or a mess, scan the affected area immediately after the trip ends. The timestamp proves it happened during that ride.
- Export and submit: download the PDF evidence report and attach it to your claim. Both Uber and Lyft accept CarShake's tamper-evident records as supporting documentation.
What it costs
Free plan: 3 scans per month. Shield+: $2.97/month for unlimited scans and PDF evidence reports — cheaper than one disputed cleaning fee. See pricing for details.
