Drive with confidence
You deserve to be able to go wherever the opportunity is. Get there with support on the road and technology that helps protect you and those around you.
Designing a safer experience
The Driver app is built with technology to help you stay connected to your loved ones, the Uber team, and emergency authorities, so you can go even further.
Your safety drives us
Safety is designed into the experience. So you feel comfortable driving at night. So you can tell loved ones where you’re going. And so you know you have someone to turn to if anything happens.*
Safety Toolkit
Visit the in-app Safety Toolkit to learn what we're doing to help keep you safe. Just tap the shield icon the next time you take a trip.
RideCheck
Using sensors and GPS data, RideCheck can help detect if a trip has an unexpected long stop. If so, we'll check on you and offer tools to get help.¹
Emergency assistance button
You can use the in-app emergency button to call authorities to get help if you need it. The app displays your location and trip details, so you can quickly share them with emergency services.
24/7 incident support
Uber customer associates trained in incident response are available around the clock.
Follow my ride
Friends and family can follow your route and will know as soon as you arrive.
2-way ratings
Your feedback matters. Low-rated trips are logged, and users may be removed to protect the Uber community.
Anonymous communications
You can call or text the driver through the app from their device with phone number anonymization technology to communicate essential trip details without sharing personal information.
GPS tracking
All Uber trips are tracked from start to finish, so there’s a record of your trip if something happens.
Emergency contacts
Create an emergency contact list within the Uber app. In the case of a serious incident, if support is unable to reach you, they will reach out to the Emergency Contact.
Audio Recording
If you feel uncomfortable, you can record the audio of the trip within the app. Just tap the blue shield to open your Safety Center and access the Record Audio option.
Verify Your Pin
You may need to enter a PIN from your rider before you can start a trip in the app. PIN verification helps make sure the right rider is getting into your car, and it allows both of you to travel with more peace of mind.
Advanced in-app navigation
Our improved in-app navigation suggests fewer left turns and provide notifications when approaching uncontrolled intersections, where the cross traffic doesn’t stop to help you drive with confidence.
Dashcams
Install and register an inwards and outwards-facing dash cam, and you will be notified that your trip will be recorded.
Driving alerts
Our app will provide notifications to help you deliver comfortable rides.
Driving hour limits
To reduce fatigue risk, you will be automatically disconnected from the Uber driver app after driving for the maximum allowable hours. After you have taken your break, your driving time will reset and you’ll be able to go back online to receive new ride requests.
Coverage you can count on
Uber partners with leading insurance providers to help protect every trip.
Safer roads for everyone, thanks to you
You play a key role in helping to make cities safer and roads friendlier to move around in.
Staying focused while driving
The app reminds you that you’re driving within the posted speed limit and to take healthy breaks, so you’re alert behind the wheel.
Safety tips
Local laws and advice from law enforcement officials offer ways you can help make a big difference in your safety and that of the people around you.
Strengthening our community
Uber’s Community Guidelines help riders and drivers enjoy a stress-free ride. Any person who doesn’t follow the guidelines may be at risk of being removed from the platform for the safety of the entire Uber community.
