As cities respond to COVID-19, cities continue limiting movement and more people continue to stay at home. This means you can see fewer trip requests and earnings on the road. At this time, you can still get activated and start driving with Uber if you are a driver who will drive for a fleet partner and independant operators. However, activation is on hold for new fleet partners. We encourage you to continue reading below for the latest information.

Activation information for new drivers and fleet partners

As of April 20, account activation remains delayed for new drivers and on hold for new fleet partners. We are therefore providing you with important information all in one place to help you in the meantime.

1. Guidance for activation requirements and documentation
