Ride with confidence
The Uber platform was built with safety in mind. Through incident prevention tools, insurance coverage, and technology that keeps you connected, we’re dedicated to helping you move safely and focus on what matters most.

Our Door-to-Door Safety Standard
New measures to help keep you safe and healthy.
In this together
All riders and drivers must wear a face cover or mask when using Uber.
Face Cover Check
We ask drivers to take a photo of themselves before they can begin driving, and our technology helps verify that they are wearing a face cover.
Health and safety supplies for drivers
We are working to provide drivers and delivery people with health and safety supplies like masks, disinfectants, and gloves to deliver food.
Expert-led guidance
We are working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to share safety tips and resources.
Ride Safety Feedback
You’ll now be able to leave feedback on health issues, such as a driver not wearing a face cover or a mask. This helps us improve and holds everyone accountable.
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.
