The countdown to 2017 has begun! No matter what time of day your celebrations begin or end, Uber is a safe and convenient way to get there and back home.

On this busy night, fares may be higher between midnight and 3am as people head home for the night. So make sure to check the app to find your best time to ride!

With on-demand rides that go from door-to-door, you can ditch your keys – and the hassle of looking for parking. Plus, you have the option of paying for your ride with either cash or card, which means that there’s always a convenient way to get around this New Year’s Eve.

 

Whether you’re celebrating with a fireworks show or at a friend’s house, follow the tips below to enjoy a stress-free night.

 

Know before you go
Ring in 2017 and get a glimpse of what’s to come with upfront fares. Before you request an Uber, you’ll see the total cost of your ride so there are no unwelcome surprises heading into the New Year. Fares may go up or down based on how many people are requesting a ride, so if it’s out of your price range, check back later for lower fares.

Split the fare
Start the party early by sharing an Uber with your friends, and split the fare in the app.

Confirm your driver
New Year’s Eve is going to be busy, so make sure you get into the right car with the right driver. Double check your driver’s car model and license plate in the app before you hop in your ride.

Share your trip details
Whether you’re running early, late, or right on time, keep your family and friends posted by sharing your trip details with them straight from the app.

Uber Resolutions
Resolve to be considerate to those around you and follow our Code of Conduct, so that everyone can enjoy the spirit of the season.

Contact support
If you wake up in 2017 and realize that you lost an item back in 2016, don’t worry. You can contact your driver directly in the app to track down your lost items. Or contact our Help Center for all other issues.

That’s it! Have a great New Year’s Eve and we’ll see you next year.
