Case Study: Ridesharing company reduces insurance risk and cuts claims with Checkr background checks

Reducing insurance risk with comprehensive background checks

Ridesharing Company, a Los Angeles–based platform that connects thousands of on‑demand drivers with rental cars, faced rising insurance risk after relying on Uber and Lyft background clearances for renters. To better screen potential car renters and secure their business, the company engaged Checkr to provide technology‑driven background checks as part of its onboarding process.

Checkr implemented scalable background screening integrated into the sign‑up flow, including detailed motor‑vehicle history checks (unpaid tickets, toll violations, accidents, suspensions and repeat patterns). As a result, Ridesharing Company mitigated risk, reduced insurance claims and related costs, maintained sub‑24‑hour renter onboarding, and gained a long‑term partner in Checkr to support faster, more accurate hiring and compliance.
