What types of insurance do Taskers have?

Airtasker provides a platform where Taskers can offer their services, but the types of insurance they possess can vary significantly from one Tasker to another. It is important to note that Airtasker does not automatically provide insurance coverage for Taskers. Instead, Taskers are encouraged to obtain their own insurance based on the nature of the services they offer. Common types of insurance that Taskers might have include public liability insurance, which protects against claims made by clients for personal injury or property damage. Some Taskers may also possess professional indemnity insurance, which covers legal costs associated with claims of negligence in the services they provide. Depending on the tasks they undertake, Taskers might also consider specific types of coverage such as vehicle insurance for transportation-related jobs or equipment insurance if they utilize tools and resources in their work. For clients seeking reassurance, it is wise to inquire about a Tasker's insurance status when engaging their services. This can foster trust and clarify the level of protection available during a task.
