Designing a safer ride

Driver screenings

Before anyone can drive with Uber in the US, they must complete a background check. Current drivers continue to be vetted every year.

Features to help keep you safe

On every trip, you can tap a button for safety tools and get help whenever you need it.

An inclusive community

Through our joint efforts with cities and safety experts and by working together, we’re helping to create safe journeys for everyone.

Peace of mind for where you're going

Safety features are designed into the app. So you get home after a night out. So you can tell your loved ones where you are. And so there’s help if something unexpected happens.*

Emergency assistance button

You can use the in-app emergency button to call and get help if you need it. The app displays your location and trip details, so you can quickly share them with authorities.

24/7 incident support

Our customer support team is specially trained to respond to urgent safety issues.

Share My Trip

Set up your Trusted Contacts and create reminders to share your trip status with friends and family in real time.

GPS tracking

All Uber rides are tracked by GPS from start to finish so there’s a record of your trip if something happens.

Phone number anonymization

The app makes phone numbers anonymous, so your personal information stays private.

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

Verify Your Pin

Verify your ride with a PIN. Opt in to this feature to help make sure you’re getting into the right car with the right driver.

Check your ride, every time

Before you hop in, take a second to double-check the app for your driver’s information. Follow these 3 steps to make sure you get into the right car:

Step 1:

Match the license plate number.

Step 2:

Match the car make and model.

Step 3:

Check the driver's photo.

Safer journeys for everyone

Our commitment to safety goes beyond the app. We partner with leading organizations to help make roads safer and our cities stronger.
