On November 6th, we all have some big decisions to make as we decide on the next President of the United States. One decision you shouldn’t have to make is how you’ll get to the polls.

That’s why Uber is teaming up with Rock the Vote to offer all voters in America who’ve never tried Uber, a “Freedom Ride” to their polling place. Unlike Paul Revere, your horse will be a sleek black town car or SUV, and will be free for 1st time riders on Election Day. The discount will be available during voting hours for each city on November 6th. Simply enter the promo code VOTEUBER during sign-up, select the Black car option in Uber’s iPhone or Android app (or via m.uber.com) and your car will arrive in minutes. With the ease of Uber’s service, you’ll feel like we’re bringing the ballot to you!

A few things to keep in mind:

  • One FREE(DOM) RIDE is available for any first time Uber client up to $20.12 off on our BLACK car service.
  • The Uber trip must begin or end at a national polling location and is valid during your city’s voting hours on Tuesday, November 6.
  • The first $20.12 of your trip will be FREE, and any amount exceeding $20.12 will be charged to your card on file.
  • The FREE RIDE requires an Uber account and use of Uber’s iPhone/Android app or m.uber.com mobile web request.

Existing client? No worries! We’ll have additional offers in a bunch of Uber cities. Check out our links below for more city-specific information as we have it.
