Meet Ahmed, our Timbers All Star Driver

We’re continuing to celebrate our amazing driver-partners who help keep Portland moving. All Star Driver Ahmad enjoyed the ultimate Timbers FC experience with one of his closest friends. They not only got to go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium, but also received Timbers merchandise and free concessions at the June 2 match against Los Angeles.

Get to know Ahmed:

Born in Iraq, Ahmed moved to the US 4 years ago and started driving with Uber part-time. He’s now transitioned to full-time and enjoys brightening up his passengers days. When riders get in his car, they’re immediately  delighted to discover they’ve entered Ahmed’s karaoke car, where everyone gets to sing their favorite song during their trip!

One of Ahmed’s most memorable trips was when his rider started improvising words to “Let It Go” and singing about what an awesome driver Ahmed was. When his trip ended, the rider stayed in the car to finish serenading Ahmed. Check out this and other karaoke trips on Ahmed’s YouTube channel.

With an impressive 4.93 rating and over 10,000 trips, Ahmed says that Uber has allowed him to meet amazing people and explore new areas.He brings a one-of-a-kind experience to his riders and they can’t get enough of his karaoke car.Here are all the great things his riders have said about him:
