New Year’s Eve Ride Guide
The countdown to 2017 has begun! And whether you’re celebrating New Year’s Eve at a fireworks display or a friend’s house, Uber is the safe and convenient way to get there. Follow the tips below to enjoy a stress-free night.
AFFORDABLE
With so many people out celebrating this New Year’s Eve, we’re anticipating that fares may be higher around 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. due to increased demand. Below are some tips for a more affordable ride.
Know before you go
In most cities, as you ring in 2017, you can get a glimpse of what’s to come with upfront fare estimates. Before you request an Uber, you’ll see the estimated cost of your ride so there are no unwelcome surprises heading into the New Year. Fares fluctuate based on demand, so if it’s out of your price range, check back later for lower fares.
Split the fare
Start the party early by sharing a ride with your friends – you can even split the fare in the app. Or, if it’s available in your city, select uberPOOL to share the cost with other riders heading the same way.
SAFE
Here are a few ways to make sure everyone enjoys a safe and happy New Year’s Eve.
Confirm your driver
New Year’s Eve is going to be busy, so make sure you get into the right car with the right driver. Double check your driver’s car model and licence plate in the app before you hop in your ride.
Share your trip details
Whether you’re early, late, or running right on time, keep your family and friends posted by sharing your trip details with them directly from the app.
Contact support
If you wake up in 2017 and realise that you lost an item back in 2016, don’t worry. You can contact your driver directly in the app to track down your lost items or visit our Help Centre for all other issues.

On-demand rides, any time
No matter what time of day your celebrations begin or end, you can get a ride on demand to take you door-to-door. Looking for parking will be a thing of the past!
You can ride without cash
Get to your New Year’s Eve party without having to take out your wallet. In some cities around the world, you also have the option to pay with cash if that’s more convenient for you.
That’s it! Have a great New Year’s Eve and we’ll see you next year.
