Our commitment to safety in the UK
You deserve to be able to move safely. To look forwards to the opportunities ahead. To be connected with people and places that matter most. Which is why we’re focused on your safety – from setting new standards to developing technology with the goal of reducing incidents.
Helping to keep each other safe during COVID-19
We’re actively monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and are continually working to help keep those who rely on our platform healthy and safe.
Our new Door-to-Door Safety Standard
We want you to feel safe riding with Uber as our communities start to move again. That’s why we’re introducing our new Door-to-Door Safety Standard. Powered by Uber’s innovative technology, encouraging shared responsibility and including guidance from health experts, these new measures are designed to help protect the health and safety of everyone who uses our platform.
Face covering check
We ask drivers to take a photo of themselves before they can begin driving, and our technology helps verify that they are wearing a face covering.
Health and safety supplies for drivers
We are working to provide drivers and couriers with health and safety supplies such as face coverings, disinfectants and gloves to deliver food.
Expert-led guidance
We are working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to share safety advice and resources.
Trip safety feedback
You’ll now be able to leave feedback on health issues, such as a driver not wearing a face covering or mask. This helps us improve and holds everyone accountable.
Disinfectant supplies – available on your next trip
As part of our new Door-to-Door Safety Standard, we’re partnering with Unilever to help ensure high standards of hygiene. This includes providing supplies such as masks, Lifebuoy Hand Hygiene Gel and Cif wipes to drivers* so you can feel safer on your next trip.
