FAQ

How many pets can I bring on Uber Pets?

Uber Pets is limited to one pet per trip. If you have more pets with you, please notify the driver first and it’s up to the driver to decide if they want to take them on the trip.
What types of animals can I bring?

Pets come in all shapes and sizes – furry, feathered or scaley – but Uber Pets is primarily for dogs and cats. Remember that you are fully responsible for controlling your furry friend while on the trip.
Your driver always has the right to refuse animal types beyond dogs and cats and refuse animals they deem unsafe or uncontrolled.
Does it cost extra to take an Uber Pets Trip?

Since you’ll be bringing along a pet, Uber Pets trips will cost more than other vehicle options. In addition, if your pet leaves waste, excessive hair, or damages the vehicle, you could be charged a cleaning fee by the driver. To avoid being charged a cleaning fee, see our helpful tips below.
What happens if my pet makes a mess?

Pets are likely to leave a little pet hair or animal odor, in which case a cleaning fee will not apply. But, if your pet has an accident where car cleaning is necessary (urine, feces, vomit, damage, etc.) you will need to pay a cleaning fee.
How many riders can ride with Uber Pets?

A maximum of two riders and one pet may ride with Uber Pets. Additional riders or pets will be left to the discretion of the driver.
Is my pet insured?

No insurance coverage is provided by Uber or the drivers for pets. Your pet rides under your sole responsibility and you are liable for any bodily injury or property damage it may cause to others and their property.
Tips for bringing pets on Uber trips
Have your dog or cat restrained with a leash, harness, or placed in a pet carrier. If your pet is not a dog, they will need to be in a carrier.
Help drivers keep vehicles clean for all riders by bringing a blanket/towel to cover the seat and reduce the risk of damage or mess.
Ask your driver if they have a preference for where your pet should sit.
Do not leave your pet unattended.
