Don’t Miss Out on Another Record Weekend!

Earnings on the weekend continue to climb! Week after week drivers continue to earn more. It is not uncommon to make $1,000+ in fares in one weekend!

Coming off record high trips per hour and earnings per hour, we expect this weekend to be just as good, if not better!

First in First Out Airport Queues

We are making airport pick-ups fair! Requests at the airport will now be assigned to you on a queued basis, meaning the first driver to enter the airport zone will be first in queue for a request. Once you’re in queue, you can wait somewhere comfortable!

Important things to know:

You are considered in the queue once you enter the dark grey zone (Android) or purple zone (iPhone) on your map
If the rider cancels the trip, you will not lose your place in the queue
If you cancel a trip, or fail to accept a request you will lose your place in the queue
When you leave the airport zone your place in the queue will be lost
Going offline/online will put you at the bottom of the queue
False requests will have your access to this zone removed
As long as you are in the airport zone, your distance to the terminal does not matter. For example, you can park somewhere comfortable, grab something to eat, take a toilet break, fill up with gas etc. until you get a request.

There are a large number of car parks and access to amenities in the red highlighted area.

Choose Your Own Navigation App

Starting in the coming days, you’ll have the option to choose Google Maps or Waze for navigating Uber trips.

When you tap GO ONLINE, you’ll be asked to choose your preferred navigation provider based on the apps installed on your iPhone.
You can change your navigation preference at any time within the SETTINGS screen.

We are constantly working to provide you with the best tools available when you drive with Uber. This update is a result of the feedback we’ve heard from partners like you. We hope it makes your experience driving with Uber easier.
