Virgin Airlines offer Uber voucher is a real concern.

Anyone considering using Uber in Australia really should check with their insurance company and make sure the car they'll travel in has insurance that will cover them.

If you read the Uber terms and conditions you'll see all the responsibility outside of the software is your responsibility. If what people are doing is illegal and there's an accident, the legal fees could wipe out people financially. This is not Uber's problem. It is yours.

Read the terms and conditions you'll see Uber's liability is limited to 500 Euro.

Does your insurance cover you?

If you're doing something illegal you won't be covered by insurance. Talk to your insurance company and make sure you get everything in writing. If something goes wrong it may be the most expensive form of travel you've ever used.

To see Virgin make such an offer whilst the legal situation in Australia is not resolved is not something I would expect to see from a company like Virgin.


Uber and Virgin have deep pockets and will be well protected. They are looking after their interests. Make sure you look after yours.
