Why choose Electric
Smooth, quiet, truly zero-emissions trips
Choosing Electric can help build healthier cities and cleaner air – everything you loved about Uber Green is still here.
How to request Uber Electric
Request
Open the Uber app and enter your destination in the “Where to?” box. Confirm that your pick-up and destination addresses are correct, and select Electric at the bottom of your screen (you might need to scroll down). Then tap Confirm Electric.
Once you’ve been matched with a driver, you’ll see their picture and vehicle details and you can track their arrival on the map.
Note: Uber Electric is available in certain cities only. In addition, availability may be limited outside of downtown areas to start.
Ride
Check that the vehicle details match what you see in the app before getting in.
Your driver has your destination and directions for the fastest way to get there, but you can always request a specific route.
Hop out
You'll be automatically charged through your payment method on file, so you can exit the car as soon as you arrive.
Remember to rate your driver to help keep Uber safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Zero exhaust emissions
By choosing Uber Green, you're helping make London more sustainable and reducing air pollution.
Costs no more than your regular journey
Going green shouldn't cost more, which is why choosing an Uber Green trip is just as affordable as requesting a regular UberX trip.
Available throughout London
Uber Green trips are available throughout Greater London – just open your app and book!
Same trips, same simple app
Just request your trip the same way you would a regular UberX trip. Pick the Uber Green option – you might have to scroll down to see it – and you're good to go.
Quieter, smoother trips
Electric vehicles are generally quieter, with no engine vibrations, for more comfortable journeys.
