Lifebuoy or Jif disinfecting supplies in your next ride
As part of our new Door-to-Door Safety Standard, we’re partnering with Unilever to help ensure high standards of hygiene. This includes providing disinfectant supplies like Lifebuoy Hand Sanitizer gels & Jif disinfecting wipes to drivers* so you can feel safer on your next ride. Additionally, we're also offering 10x surgical masks for drivers' personal use.
