Help keep one another safe

When driving with Uber, no one other than the requesting rider and the rider's guests are permitted in the vehicle. When delivering with Uber Eats using a car, there should not be any riders in the car at the same time as the order to be delivered. When riding with Uber, the account holder is responsible for the behavior of their entire party. If you request a ride or a delivery or rent a bike or scooter for another adult, you’re held responsible for their behavior during their trip or delivery.

In addition, remember the Uber app is not intended to be used as a delivery service. Drivers have the right not to accept a ride, or to cancel the ride request, if the same was requested by a rider with the purposes of delivering an item and/or package. If you choose to use the Uber Apps for the purpose of package and/or item delivery, you are solely responsible and liable for whatever happens to the package(s) and/or item(s). Uber does not have insurance covering such packages and/or items.

Seat belt use can be the most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries related to car crashes. Every driver, delivery partner using a vehicle, and rider—including those in the back seat—should always buckle up. Riders should request a car that has enough seat belts for everyone in their party, and drivers can decline a ride if there are not enough seat belts for every passenger in their car.

For your safety, when riding a bike, motorcycle, or scooter, find a helmet that fits well. Helmets can help protect you when worn according to the manufacturer’s instructions: low on your forehead and snug under your chin.

Anyone using the Uber apps may choose to record all or part of a trip or delivery to the extent permitted by applicable laws, including to document an issue that they may wish to report to Uber or a relevant authority. Applicable laws or regulations may require any individual using recording equipment to notify and/or obtain consent of anyone being recorded. Please check local regulations in your city to determine if these apply.

Broadcasting a person’s image, audio, or video recording is not allowed.

Being out on the road means doing your part to help keep yourself and others safe. This means keeping your eyes on the road, being well rested, and watching for situations that may require quick action. We review reports of potentially unsafe driving behavior.

Drivers and delivery partners are expected to maintain their vehicles with brakes, seat belts, and tires in good operating condition, according to industry safety and maintenance standards, and to monitor for and repairing any parts that are recalled by the vehicle manufacturer.

Uber may take additional measures to try to preserve the safety of our platform during public emergencies, including but not limited to natural disasters, public health emergencies, and public crisis situations.

For example, if Uber receives notice from a public health authority that someone using the Uber platform may present a potential for public harm, we may waitlist the individual’s account until it is reasonably safe to allow the individual to resume using the Uber platform. Similarly, we may prevent individuals in an entire city or region from using part or all of the Uber platform in order to comply with guidance from authorities during a time of public health emergency, natural disaster, or other public crisis situation, or when the continued availability of the Uber platform might present a clear and present danger.
