Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
Yes, Allianz also provides Comprehensive, Third Party Property and Third Party Fire & Theft insurance coverage for Private Car Insurance customers providing ridesharing services. Kindly contact Allianz directly on getting car insurance that would cover ridesharing drivers.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
