The Driver app
Easy to use and reliable, the app was built for drivers, with drivers. It shows you everything you need to know to become a driver with Uber.
An alternative to traditional driving jobs
Driving with Uber offers a flexible earning opportunity. It’s a great alternative to full-time driver jobs, part-time driver jobs, or other part-time gigs, temp jobs, or seasonal employment. Or maybe you’re already a rideshare driver and want to supplement your income by becoming a driver using the Uber platform.
Drivers who use Uber come from all backgrounds and industries, setting their own schedule to make work fit into their lives, not the other way around.
Uber offers an alternative to traditional part-time driver jobs in major cities in Canada, including Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Calgary—plus hundreds of other cities of all sizes across the country.
