Only covers US and only covers ride-sharing.

> There are a number of insurance providers that offer policies for ridesharing. Uber recommends working with your insurance agent to find a plan that works for you.

> For US ridesharing partners only, please note that although the Rasier policy will act as primary insurance while you are using the Uber Partner app, keep in mind that all partners must also carry personal auto insurance.

Which still doesn't make it valid for just about anywhere outside of the US.

Good luck claiming anything from the drivers insurance if you're harmed or killed while riding in such a vehicle.

Do you think that US insurance document bears any weight/influence in France?

They have similar coverage in Canada (http://blog.uber.com/CanadaXSafety).

Why can't they do the same thing in France?
