HSB 602 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to peer-to-peer car sharing programs.

This bill establishes rules for peer-to-peer car sharing platforms, where individuals rent their personal vehicles to others. It requires platforms to assume liability for bodily injury or property damage during vehicle sharing periods and ensures minimum insurance coverage (meeting state requirements) for both owners and drivers. Platforms must provide primary insurance coverage if owners or drivers lack valid coverage, and they cannot be held liable under laws that penalize vehicle ownership during sharing. The law specifically excludes traditional rental car companies from these rules.
