Hong Kong insurers will back Uber, as long as the government does too
In a statement issued yesterday, the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers said its members would be willing to provide coverage for Uber and similar car-hiring platforms so long as such services are deemed legal by the government. 
However, if such services remained illegal, the motor third party liability and motor property damage cover for this kind of activity would be rendered invalid.
