Respect your driver

We want every ride to be a safe and respectful experience for you and your driver. Remember, rider ratings count, so don’t let yours drop on New Year’s Eve. Visit our Community Guidelines to find out how to make every interaction a five-star experience.

Be responsible when you’re drinking

Remember it’s illegal to bring an open alcohol container inside your ride, so keep a lid on it until you get to your New Year’s celebrations. If your stomach takes a turn on the home stretch, give your driver plenty of time to pull up – because if you avoid the mess, you’ll avoid the cleaning fee.

Share your trip

With the updated Share My Trip feature, your loved ones can see your live location this New Year’s Eve. They can even view trip details and follow your route.
