Why Safety Matters
Uber is committed to safety. Our in-app safety features help keep you connected and protected when you ride. And because we believe that safety never stops, we’ll keep working to drive safety forwards.
Safety Stories
We’ve all got our own reasons why safety is important to us. Hear why safety matters to a driver and organisations who are working to make safer streets, for women, minorities, and everyone else, in cities across the UK.
Safe & the City
From telling you the nearest Safe Site if you feel scared, to helping people rate safe walking routes in the city, Safe & the City brings Uber style safety technology to your walk home or when you're on-the-go.
Home Safe
Home Safe refunds rides for anyone who can’t afford a safe ride home - whether that's with Uber or another ride hail service. Uber has partnered with Home Safe to provide £10,000 to cover trips for those that need it.
A driver's perspective
Hear first-hand from a driver about their experiences driving with Uber and what safety means to them on the platform.

Looking out for her sisterhood matters to @asmaelbadawi. With Share My Trip we’ll remind you to let a trusted contact know both when you’re travelling and when you’ve safely arrived. Peace of mind for all involved.
Staying safe on the road matters to @reystyles. With RideCheck technology, if your car stops for an unusually long time or looks like it might have been in an accident, we’ll reach out to check that everything’s OK.
The freedom to be yourself matters. That’s why we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind, by anyone using the platform. So - you do you @reystyles @shahvenchi @versarxhie.
Once a mum, always a mum, @trayslounge. All of our drivers are DBS checked so you can feel completely sure that your precious cargo is in good hands getting from A to B.
Knowing who’s driving matters to @asmaelbadawi. Regular compulsory Real-Time ID Checks mean that you can be sure that only licensed and verified drivers are behind the wheel.
