This article introduces Nexar's Rideshare Protect Program for Inshur, a monthly subscription for professional drivers in NYC that includes a Nexar dash cam and a TLC insurance discount.


What is Nexar's Rideshare Protect Program?

Nexar's Rideshare Protect Program is a Safe Driving package for professional drivers working within the NYC area (as well as other locations in the near future).

For a monthly fee, drivers receive a discount on their TLC liability insurance. In addition, drivers receive a Nexar-ready dash cam, and the many practical benefits from the Nexar safety features, such as collision reports.

How do I qualify for the Inshur discount?

To ensure you qualify for the discount, drive with the Nexar app and dash cam least 5 times. Each drive needs to be at least 10 minutes and 5 miles long, within one calendar month. As long as you keep driving with Nexar for more than 5 times, at least 10 minutes and 5 miles long each, you should be able to maintain your discount.

Please note with Inshur, you will receive the discount only after you complete this on a full calendar month.

You will also need to pay a monthly fee of $9.99 per month unless you purchase the dash-cam through Inshur's promotion.


What is Inshur's promotion?

At the moment, Inshur is offering a promotion to new drivers who sign up or renew their insurance through the Inshur App (while the promotion is still active) that exempt you from monthly fees.

If you purchase a camera from the Inshur app and fail to install and use the dash cam within 30 days, the discount will be removed and you may be charged up to $400.


How do I enjoy Inshur's promotion?

In order to enjoy Inshur's promotion, you must purchase a new Nexar dash cam from Inshur. Then, you must select the Nexar option while you are signing up for your Inshur policy (via the Inshur App). You must purchase a Nexar dash cam, install it, and log 5 drives per month using the dash cam and the Nexar app.


I already have a Nexar dash cam and I am insured with Inshur. Can I get the Insurance discount?

If you are under the Inshur promotion and own a Nexar dash cam already, you can qualify for the insurance discount. If not, you will need to sign up to the Rideshare Protect program.


How to get the insurance discount if I have Inshur?

To get the Inshur discount, follow these steps

1. Log 5 drives (each being at least 10 minutes and 5 miles long) each month

2. Make sure your insurance information is up-to-date. Contact us through your Nexar app so we can verify the accuracy of your insurance information. You can also send an email to support@getnexar.com

3. Email help@inshur.com to ask them to apply the discount


I moved from American Transit/Hereford to Inshur. How do I get the discount?

To enjoy Inshur's discount, you must do one of the following:

1. Purchase a dash cam when signing up to your Inshur Insurance. You will not be able to return your old dash cam. However, you will not pay the monthly fee of $9.99

2. Please contact us by sending an email to support@getnexar.com and let us know your new insurance details, so that we can change it on our end for you. You will continue to pay your monthly subscription.


How can I see how many hours I've driven with Nexar to know if I qualify for the discount?

If you want to know how many hours you've already driven and you're qualified for the discount, here's what you need to do:

1. Log into the Nexar Dashboard: https://login.getnexar.com

2. Click on 'My Rides'

3. On the top right-hand side of your page, you can view the number of hours you've driven.


Do I need to use the Nexar App to get an insurance discount or can I just use the dash cam?

You need to use the Nexar App not only to obtain an insurance discount and letting us and your insurance company know when you become eligible for a discount, but also to provide powerful safety features like recording and capturing of dangerous events during drives.


How do I get my Insurance Eligibility Certificate?

Please follow these step by step instructions to get your Insurance Eligibility Certificate:

1. Please go to the Nexar Dashboard: https://login.getnexar.com

2. Click on "My Account"

3. Click on discount eligibility certificate to download your discount certificate

Once you’ve achieved eligibility, forward this certificate to Inshur through the email address, help@inshur.com. Attach the certificate to the email and make sure that you put your policy number on the subject line of your email.


How do I become ineligible for my Insurance discount?

The following actions will disqualify you from the insurance discount:

  • If you have fewer than five rides per calendar month for two consecutive months, you will lose your discount

  • If you drive less than five rides in a single month, you’re okay - there is a one month grace period

  • You will also lose the discount if you get into a collision and do not provide the dash cam footage to Inshur


Can I go on vacation and still keep my discount?

Yes, you can go on vacation and maintain your discount. Although you are required to maintain your Insurance Company's required amount of hours driving with Nexar in order to maintain your discount, your insurance company allows you a one-month grace period. So, if you go one month without making your hours, you will not lose your insurance discount.

If you go two months in a row not making your hours, regardless of the reason, your insurance discount will be removed.


I’ve lost the discount and my insurance company sent me a bill, what is going on?

If you lose your discount due to inactivity and have not maintained the required drives every month, your insurance company may remove your discount and charge you for the months you were no longer eligible. We advise that you consult this with your broker to get further details on the breakdown of the adjustments to your Insurance bill.
