Get ready, Amarillo – there’s a new Uber family member in town!

On Friday, March 3, uberXL will arrive in Amarillo, offering riders and drivers a brand new product. When riders are traveling with a crew of up to 6 passengers, uberXL is a great option for getting around town. Since uberXL partners are taking more riders, the fare is higher, offering the opportunity to earn more for each trip.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR UBERXL?

uberXL vehicles must be a 2002 or newer, 4-door SUV or minivan with independently opening doors. The vehicle must be able to seat up to six passengers and the driver with seven total seat belts. To see more requirements check out our vehicle requirements page.

HOW DO I ADD UBERXL TO MY ACCOUNT?

If you already have a vehicle on your Uber account that fits within our uberXL vehicle requirements, you don’t have to do anything. We have already added uberXL to your account. Starting Friday, March 3, you will start receiving both uberX and uberXL trips. We will reflect the payment difference of uberX and uberXL trips within the Earnings tab in the app.

If you have a vehicle that fits within the uberXL vehicle requirements, but it is not a car you currently drive with on Uber, you can add a new vehicle to your account. To add a vehicle to your account:

• Log into your profile at partners.uber.com
• Click on the “Vehicles” tab at the top of the screen
• Input your vehicle information and upload the appropriate documents
• Please note, it may take a few days for us to approve your documents and add your vehicle

CAN I GET BOTH UBERX AND UBERXL TRIPS?

Yes! Just like with uberX, drivers that are closest to a rider will receive uberXL trip requests. If there are no uberXL requests in the area, you will still receive uberX requests. You will only receive uberXL pricing when getting matched with uberXL trips. You can track all of your trips within the partner app.
