Brewer asks about pedicab insurance requirements and costs
Brewer asks whether pedicab businesses must carry insurance and how it works. Ortiz says the administrative code requires insurance, up to six companies offer it, but costs have risen and made licensing difficult.
My most recent pedicab driver was, he was Russian, and I was on my way to the chess championship, and he joined me.
You never know what's next.
In terms of insurance, I guess that's the same issue.
Are they supposed to have insurance?
And how does that work in terms of obviously being expensive?
I know there are very few companies that provide it.
How does the insurance work?
If at all.
So the administrative code requires these businesses to carry insurance.
And my understanding is there's up to six companies currently offering the industry insurance.
But the costs have been going up in recent years, and that has also been difficult for the business actors to be able to get their license.
In terms of determining how an insurance policy, if it's complying with the ad code, we work with the law department to review those policies.
