Not only that, but basic liability usually doesn't cover gig work either, you need a special and more expensive policy for that.
There are limited exceptions where you can self insure, I think New Hampshire is the only place you can do that in the US. However if you can self insure then you probably aren't doing gig work.

You can add gap to your regular insurance to cover your job as a rideshare. You just need to tell your carrier. The thing is, if you're renting, you've added someone in between you and the insurance carrier. Uber does not self insure. I see them often using Progressive. So you rent a car from Uber, pay for the insurance from Uber, but there's also Avis and Progressive now taking their cut. It's just scammy, and the fact that they're getting people to rent cars to do so is just crazy to me.
