Driving safety forwards

Your safety is our priority. We never stop working to set new standards, so you can stay connected and protected every time you ride with us.* Because safety never stops.

Our 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.

  • Our Door-to-Door Safety Standard

    New measures to help keep you safe and healthy.

  • In this together

    All riders and drivers must wear a face cover or mask when using Uber.

  • Face Cover 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 cover.

  • Health and safety supplies for drivers

    We are working to provide drivers and delivery people with health and safety supplies like masks, disinfectants, and gloves to deliver food.

  • Expert-led guidance

    We are working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to share safety tips and resources.

  • Ride Safety Feedback

    You’ll now be able to leave feedback on health issues, such as a driver not wearing a face cover or a mask. This helps us improve and holds everyone accountable.

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.¹
