Drivers accused of purposely driving to crime hot spot areas for insurance claims
This is according to Nyanga CPF chairperson Dumisani Qwebe. The Weekend Argus reported last week that trucks and e-hailing services are targeted by criminals in some areas in Cape Town.
“The driver told us that if he gets hijacked, he will be paid a lump sum. He was not bothered and he did not tell us which e-hailing service was he from.” “As part of our commitment to safety, we have partnered with AIG Insurance to provide drivers, riders and delivery people with protection under this programme. The Partner Injury Protection is there to assist with emergency medical treatment expenses and other costs. They are covered from the moment they accept a trip or delivery request while driving to pick up a rider or on the way to a restaurant, and until the trip ends,” said Uber spokesperson.
