Need a premium electric vehicle?
Drivers are welcome to purchase their own premium electric vehicle (EV). Uber recognizes that EVs are expensive and has partnered with Hertz to offer the rental of 50,000 Tesla Model 3s specifically for drivers on Uber.
The partnership in North America has already benefited tens of thousands of drivers on the Uber platform. To date, nearly 50,000 drivers have rented a Tesla through this program, completing more than 24 million fully electric trips and over 260 million electric miles.

Trips will begin counting shortly after your first qualifying EV trip upon confirmed enrollment in the incentive program (more information will be provided in your confirmation email). In rare cases, due to a short lag in enrollment verification, you may need to complete slightly more than 100 total trips to satisfy the requirement. Drivers who already have or have ever had an EV on their driver profile are not eligible. The 100 trips must be completed in a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV)—hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are not eligible. This incentive is only redeemable one-time. Only rideshare trips completed on the Uber platform qualify. Uber Eats, Uber Connect, and other delivery trips are not eligible. Canceled rides do not count. Incentive payments will be added to a driver’s account upon completion of the criteria. Payments are typically processed within 15 days but may take longer in some cases. Once funds are exhausted, no additional incentives will be paid, even if a driver meets the program criteria. Uber reserves the right to (1) withhold or deduct payments in the event of errors, suspected fraud, illegality, or violation of driver terms or these terms, (2) change the trip requirements, incentive payouts, or other program details at any time and without notice, and (3) disqualify a vehicle or driver at any time that does not meet the eligibility requirements. Offer is limited time only, while supplies last, and subject to change in Uber’s sole discretion.
