Designing a safer experience
Features to help keep you safe
The Driver app is built with technology to help you stay connected to your loved ones, the Uber team, and emergency authorities, so you can go even further.
Helping to protect you on the road

Your safety drives us
Safety is designed into the experience. So you feel comfortable driving at night. So you can tell loved ones where you’re going. And so you know you have someone to turn to if anything happens.¹
Emergency assistance button
You can use the in-app emergency button to call authorities to get help if you need it. The app displays your location and trip details, so you can quickly share them with emergency services.
24/7 incident support
Uber customer associates trained in incident response are available around the clock.
Follow My Ride
Friends and family can follow your route and will know as soon as you arrive.
2-way ratings
Your feedback matters. Low-rated trips are logged, and users may be removed to protect the Uber community.
Phone anonymization
If you need to contact your rider through the app, your phone number may stay private.
GPS tracking
All Uber trips are tracked from start to finish, so there’s a record of your trip if something happens.
RideCheck
Using sensors and GPS data, RideCheck can help detect if a trip goes unusually off-course or a possible crash has occurred. If the app alerts us to such events, we’ll check in on you and offer tools to get help.
You’re insured on every trip with a rider
Each trip you drive on the Uber app is insured to protect you, your rider, and your car.²

Safer roads for everyone, thanks to you

Staying focused while driving
The app reminds you that you’re driving within the posted speed limit and to take healthy breaks, so you’re alert behind the wheel.

Local laws and advice from law enforcement officials offer ways you can help make a big difference in your safety and that of the people around you.
