- Get alerts about busy areas
- Track earnings
- Plan your day
- Start and end trips even if you lose mobile service
Frequently asked questions
- Can I drive with Uber and also drive a taxi?
Yes. You can keep driving a taxi or doing other driver jobs and get paid to drive using Uber in your spare time with your personal vehicle.
- After I’ve taken a trip, how can I find out how much I’ll get paid?
Getting paid to drive is a big part of the reason you looked for an alternative to a full-time or part-time driving job and decided to use Uber. So we make it as easy as possible to track your earnings from riders. Whether you’re driving or delivering, the app offers helpful tools. A monetary amount at the top of your screen will show your earnings. Look for resources in the app to give you more information about seeing your real-time totals and details.
- Is the Uber platform safe?
Your safety matters to us. Uber has a Global Safety Team dedicated to doing our part to help prevent incidents. Learn more about the safety features in the app, as well as safeguards such as GPS tracking and phone anonymization, by visiting the link below.
- I’m a little nervous about taking my first trip. How can I get help?
When you’re ready to become a driver with Uber, you’ll be able to take a simulated trip in the app. Before you start driving, you can learn the app basics with our step-by-step guide. It will let you interact with the app in test mode, from accepting a trip request to dropping off your rider, and every step in between.
- Do I need to buy my own insurance?
Uber maintains auto insurance designed for rideshare drivers on your behalf when you’re driving on our platform. When you’re not driving with Uber, you would use your own personal auto insurance. Many personal auto insurers offer rideshare insurance endorsements that include additional coverage for rideshare drivers, but this is not required for you to sign up to drive with Uber. Contact your insurance company for details. Note: Uber does not maintain primary auto insurance coverage on behalf of commercially insured drivers.
