*To qualify, drive for 4 hours, accept 90% of requests & be within 7KMs of the GC metro area

Note that in the lead-up to NYE we will not be running any incentives on Saturday Dec 27th. However, the $5 per trip incentive will remain in place until further notice.


WHAT CAN I EXPECT ON NYE?

New Year’s Eve is huge on Uber. Below is a graph of trips in Sydney last year leading up to NYE. What they saw:

4pm-8pm: From the early afternoon, the city is abuzz. This culminates in this PEAK drop-off time.

8pm-12am: This may be a quieter period which you could spend with friends or family to refresh before the late night rush.

Midnight – 4am: This is the BUSIEST time of the year to drive. Expect to be constantly on-trip and a huge amount of very high surge.
