To drive with Uber in Windsor, your vehicle must pass an inspection and receive a 'Safety Standards Certificate' (SSC). Every time you complete an inspection, you'll need to upload a new SSC onto your profile.

  • If your vehicle model is 5 years or newer, it will require an inspection every 12 month
  • If your vehicle model is older than 5 years, it will require an inspection every 6 months

Complete the inspection at one of the locations licensed by the Ministry of Transportation that can issue a 'Safety Standards Certificate'.

Annual vehicle inspections

1. Find the nearest inspection centre

Find a location near you to complete your vehicle inspection. Our preferred locations are below and most of them offer a discounted rate to Uber partners.

Where ever you choose to complete an inspection, be sure to visit a licensed mechanic that can issue a 'Safety Standards Certificate'.

2. Complete a vehicle inspection

Bring your vehicle in for the inspection. If your vehicle passes the inspection, the mechanic will give you a Safety Standards Certificate (SSC).

Uber does not cover the cost of the inspection, or any repairs or maintenance needed to pass an inspection.

3. Upload the inspection report

After you pass your vehicle inspection, upload a clear photo of the 'Safety Standards Certificate' to your Uber account.

If you did not receive a paper vehicle inspection report and have instead been issued a DriveON digital inspection report, you can search for it on the DriveON portal and download it as a PDF file. Make sure to upload the document labeled “Ontario DriveON Safety Standard Certificate”, not the “Ministry of Transportation Safety Inspection Report”.
