INSHUR Co-Founder & CEO Dan Bratshpis and AutoMarketplace founder Dawood Mian sat down to speak about the NYC TLC insurance industry, earlier today. TLC insurance renewal season is in full swing and many NYC for-hire drivers and fleets are confused and angry 😤 about 10%, 15%, 20%, even 30%+ policy premium increases.
Dan shares his thoughts about the increases and what's driving them. He also speaks about other NYC TLC insurance-related topics, including how regulation impacts the industry, the role of insurance brokers, how the rise of ⚡ EVs could change the market and his thoughts on TLC drivers getting 'comprehensive & collision' insurance for their TLC-plated vehicles (including a specific question about the popular Tesla Model Y!).

ABOUT INSHUR
INSHUR was founded in 2016 to modernize the commercial auto insurance sector.
The company was built on the recognition that too many businesses born into the digital world were being ineffectively served by a broken insurance industry that remained confusing, cumbersome in process, and consistently provided poor customer service.
They set out to change that by harnessing rich data to deliver a simple, fast and seamless experience to obtain commercial auto insurance, initially for New York’s Uber drivers, but quickly expanding their presence and products throughout the UK and Netherlands.
INSHUR is an online service, providing Uber preferred TLC cover in New York City and Livery Coverage for Uber Black drivers in Arizona. You can quote, buy and renew your policy online.
No paperwork. No forms. No terrible hold music. Just quick and easy coverage. INSHUR’s top-rated multi-lingual teams can help in English and Spanish.
