Vehicle Inspections

Chicago

 

In Chicago, all drivers must pass a vehicle inspection before taking their first trip. This typically takes less than 30 minutes. If you’re going to your nearby Uber Greenlight Hub, please schedule an appointment below. You can find a map with Greenlight Hubs and licensed and approved third-party service centers at the bottom of this page.

Passed inspection forms from other rideshare companies may also be accepted. You can upload your completed vehicle inspection form here.
