Two Minutes Til Take-Off!

After arriving at your location, your uberPOOL driver will wait two minutes for you to hop in. Being on time helps you and your co-rider avoid major delays, so everybody wins.

Give Yourself Some Time

If you’re the second rider, uberPOOL ETAs may be longer than you’re used to. By giving yourself a few extra minutes, you can help guarantee everyone has a pleasant, stress-free trip.

Meet Your Match

uberPOOL always pairs you with the most efficient match. If you cancel and re-request, you will likely be matched with the same car. Don’t leave your co-rider hanging!
