Whether you’re celebrating the holiday at a BBQ, hosting a pool party or checking out the fireworks Downtown, leave the keys at home and stay safe with Uber.


Check out our pro tips to help your night sparkle:

Ride safely with MADD
We’ve partnered with MADD to make it easy for you to leave your keys at home & enjoy the fireworks with the knowledge that you always have a safe ride available with Uber. Take the pledge to ride safely this holiday weekend with MADD.

Avoid road closures downtown
Many downtown roads will be closed for the fireworks and concerts. To request a ride, we recommend going up Broadway to 8th Ave, to Union Street away from Broadway or over to Korean Veterans Blvd & above 5th Ave.

Make sure you’re in the right Uber
Once a driver is headed toward you, peek in the app to double check that you have the right ride – look for the driver name, car make, model and license plate number!

Go big or go home
Need a bigger car to fit the whole crew? Try uberXL for comfort and extra room that will accommodate your whole entourage at a low-cost price.

Estimate your fare
No surprises here! You can always estimate your fare before requesting a ride.
