Pro tips for a better pickup experience

Share your location with your driver. Riders can show their exact location to their drivers by turning on Live Location Sharing. Location sharing is only available during the pickup experience.
Share your trip with your crew. You can now share your location and trip status with friends and family, all right from the app.
Chat in-app. Contact your driver directly through the Uber app for a seamless pickup.
Use Spotlight. Sometimes when you’re in a crowded area or it’s nighttime, it may be more difficult for your driver to find you. With Spotlight, you can light up your phone with a special color specific to your driver.
Get in the right car (and other safety tips). Before you get in the car, check that the license plate, driver photo, and driver name all match what’s listed in the app.
