What car can I drive? 

Uber does not own any vehicles. Uber works with licensed and accredited operators with TV or MV plated vehicles. To begin driving with Uber you have two options, either invest in a luxury hire car (on DPTI approved list) such as a Holden Caprice or Chrysler 300C or drive for an existing partner operator who owns a fleet of vehicles.

ABOUT UBER ADELAIDE

Uber Adelaide has been in operation since August 2014 and continues to be used daily by thousands of happy Adelaidians. We are pleased to also confirm that SA Transport Minister has approved the service and removes any ambiguity that you may have once had. Uber’s technology has been validated by rapid adoption in over 250 cities around the world.

 

 

HOW ARE RIDERS CHARGED?

Ride costs are calculated automatically and we charge the rider’s credit card for you. There’s no need to carry cash. You’ll receive your funds every week via direct deposit.

 

 


HOW TO MAXIMISE YOUR FARES!

 

The graphic below shows the peak hours for the Uber network. To maximise your fares on the system, drive in these hours. Generally speaking they relate to morning and evening peak hours during the working week as well as extended periods of high demand on Friday evening, most of Saturday and even Sunday!

Uber is a service that can be used Adelaide-wide. However, since requests are matched to drivers based on proximity, our best partners make sure they spend most of their time in the Core Service Area – the most consistent area for rider requests (highlighted blue in the map below). If you’re driving in from other areas, simply GO ONLINE once you leave home and make your way in – hopefully you’ll get a request on your way!
