Insurance?

I thought running as a "paid more than the cost of the fuel" service was classed as "for hire or reward" & as such specifically excluded from regular insurance policies. Private 'car sharing for reward' is surely not insured then, unless the driver has a commercial cover policy?

Or are they running like a taxi (mini cab) firm but arguing the fares are pure booked through the app?

(Sorry, I live in the middle of nowhere; I've taken one taxi in the last two years. As such I'm not up on the details)
