Uber Partnerships in Edmonton

Whether it’s the earning opportunities we provide driver partners and their families, the sheer number of jobs we stand to create, or our partnerships with local businesses, we are determined to be an important part of what makes Edmonton a great city to live in.

One of our favourite ways to do this is by focusing on the business community, and contributing in ways that help them grow.

Edmonton businesses partner with us for a number of different reasons, but it’s our customized approach to communications and unique offers that make our partners stand out! Don’t take our word for it, check out what some of our local partners are saying:

The Black Dog Freehouse:

“Patron safety is one of the many reasons we choose support Uber. It’s our responsibility to make sure people get home safe each and every night, and after learning about the service and how it works and using it ourselves it was clear to us that it was a great safe way to send patrons home. The app provides our customers with a clear picture of who drove them, which way they went, and how much money it cost them.

Whyte Ave can get a little crazy on the weekends and having an alternative to standing in the streets trying to win a battle for a cab has been great for our business. …the service is filling a much needed role in Edmonton transportation, especially with regards to the late night shortage of safe rides away from Whyte Avenue.”

-Wendy Duthie, Black Dog Management Team

Career Fair Canada:

“We recently partnered with Uber because it allowed us to reach more potential jobseekers to attend our event. Uber offered a free $20 promotion for first time riders which was a huge benefit to career fair attendees, especially those that are out of work. Uber made it a very viable option for them to explore the job opportunities we had available, and for the most part, at no cost.

Ridesharing is the way of the future. Uber makes it safe and affordable and offers a top notch service. They are a cutting edge technology company and I am proud and honoured to be able to partner with them on events like Career Fair Canada.”
