Designing a safer experience
Features to help keep you safe
The app is built with technology to help you stay connected to your loved ones and our support team, so you can go even further.
Help if you need it
Specially trained incident response teams are available anytime right from the app.
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.
Peace of mind, wherever you go
Safety is designed into the experience. So you feel comfortable driving at night. So you can tell loved ones where you’re going. And so you know you have someone to turn to if anything happens.*
24/7 incident support
Uber customer associates trained in incident response are available around the clock.
Follow My Ride
Friends and family can follow your route and will know as soon as you arrive.
2-way ratings
Your feedback matters. Low-rated trips are logged, and users may be removed to protect the Uber community.
Anonymous Communications
We use technology to help keep your phone number private, so neither drivers nor riders will see each other’s numbers when communicating through the Uber app.
GPS tracking
All Uber rides are tracked from start to finish, so there’s a record of your trip if something happens.
RideCheck
Using sensors and GPS data, RideCheck can help detect if a trip has an unexpected long stop. If so, we'll check on you and offer tools to get help.
Emergency assistance button
You can use the in-app Emergency Button to call local authorities to get help if you need it. The app displays your location and trip details, so you can quickly share them with emergency dispatchers.
Coverage you can count on
Uber partners with leading insurance providers to help protect every trip.
Safer roads for everyone, thanks to you
You play a key role in helping to make cities safer and roads friendlier to move around in.
Staying focused while driving
The app reminds you that you’re driving within the posted speed limit, so you’re alert behind the wheel.
Safety tips
From finding a safe place to pick up riders to reminding them to buckle up, you can make a big difference in your safety and that of the people around you.
Strengthening our community
Uber’s Community Guidelines help riders and drivers enjoy a stress-free ride. Any person who doesn’t follow the guidelines may be at risk of being removed from the platform for the safety of the entire Uber community.
