Ride with confidence
The Uber experience was built with safety in mind. Through incident prevention tools and technology that keeps you connected, we’re dedicated to helping you move safely and focus on what matters most.
Designing a safer ride
Always on the map
To help keep you safe, technology is built into each part of the ride—from pickup to dropoff and everywhere in between.
Features to help keep you safe
On every trip, you can tap a button for safety tools and get help whenever you need it.
An inclusive community
Through our joint efforts with cities and safety experts and by working together, we’re helping to create safe journeys for everyone.
Drivers must clear several screenings
All potential driver-partners must complete a criminal background screening process before being approved to accept ride requests through the Uber app.
Peace of mind for where you're going
Safety features are designed into the app. So you get home after a night out. So you can tell your loved ones where you are. And so there’s help if something unexpected happens.
Insurance on every trip
Uber partners with leading companies to help protect you if anything happens.
Check your ride, every time you ride
Matching the car model and license plate with the information in your app makes for a safer ride. Be certain that you get into the right car by following these steps:
Strengthening our community
Our Community Guidelines were established to keep Uber enjoyable and inclusive for everyone. Any person who doesn’t follow the guidelines can be removed from the platform.
