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
We have different processes to verify drivers when registering. Some include confirming their identity through official documents, plus documentation to confirm their vehicle registration.
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
In addition to the local regulatory minimum insurance policy that drivers are required to have (if required by law), Uber contracts coverage to protect passengers and third parties during all trips made through the Uber app.
Check your ride, every time
Before you hop in, take a second to double-check the app for your driver’s information. Follow these 3 steps to make sure you get into the right car:
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.
