How to ride with UberX Share
1. Request
Open the Uber app and enter your destination in the "Where to?" box. Once you confirm that your pick-up and destination addresses are correct, select Share (you might need to scroll down). Then tap Confirm Share.
After a short wait in our UberX Share Waiting Room and once you've been matched with a driver, you'll see their picture and vehicle details and can track their arrival on the map, just like any other Uber option.
2. Ride
The app will try to match your car with other riders heading your way. Check that the vehicle details match what you see in the app before getting in.
3. Hop out
You'll be automatically charged through your payment method on file, so you can exit the car as soon as you arrive. If your trip was 5-stars, consider saying thanks and tipping your driver in the app after your trip.
Frequently asked questions
- How many seats can I request on UberX Share?
You can only request one seat on UberX Share. If you're riding with a friend or a group of friends, please request UberX or UberXL.
- How many co-riders will I be matched with?
You'll ride with a maximum of two other passengers at any point on your trip. If a co-rider is dropped off before you, it’s possible the app will search for another co-rider, but it’s designed to only look for people going your way to avoid adding more than 8 minutes to the ride on average.
- How long will it take to pick up other riders?
UberX Share is designed to add no more than 8 minutes on average to your trip (note: because of traffic and other possible delays, we cannot guarantee arrival times). You’ll always see your estimated arrival time in the app as you ride.
- I was picked up first. Why was I dropped off second?
Pick-up and drop-off order is determined by where your destination falls along the route, rather than the order of who was picked up first.
- What if my co-rider takes us out of the way?
The app matches you with riders going your way to help make sure any additional pickups won’t increase your estimated arrival time by more than 8 minutes on average.
- Is there room for my luggage?
It depends on the space in the car and the number of riders. If you're traveling with luggage, we recommend requesting an UberX trip instead of an UberX Share trip.
- How long will my driver wait for me at my pick-up spot?
Your driver will only wait for 2 minutes at your pick-up spot. After 2 minutes, your driver can cancel and collect a cancellation fee for their time.

Use of UberX Share are subject to these terms, which supplement other terms you have agreed to with Uber.
*Any savings will be applied in upfront fare and does not require you to be matched with a co-rider. The upfront price will be the price a rider pays unless the trip changes significantly due to traffic, route, tolls or other reasons outside of Uber’s control. Matching with a co-rider is dependent on time of day, traffic, the number of ride requests, and the number of drivers available in a given area. Riders who use UberX Share can receive savings upto 20%, and may receive more based on the time and distance traveled. Savings may vary by city. See the app for details.
*Riders may not be able to request UberX Share trips if they have been alleged to be involved in certain safety incidents involving harassment, threatening behaviour, or assault
Please note that you may be matched with a rider who has an assistance dog. We kindly ask for your understanding and respect in these situations. Not only is it a legal requirement for drivers to accept riders with assistance dogs, but it is also essential to ensure that people with disabilities can travel with the same ease and dignity as everyone else. If, for any personal or medical reason, you are unable to share a journey with an assistance dog, we ask you to kindly end the trip and book a new Uber trip if you find out that your co-rider has an assistance dog. Drivers are legally prohibited from denying service to riders with assistance dogs because of the presence of the assistance dog. Uber’s Community Guidelines prohibit aggressive or confrontational behaviour, and discriminatory conduct is not tolerated.
