Changing your earning options

This article is for drivers or delivery people who would like to:

  • Change vehicle request types
  • Opt in to trip or delivery requests
  • Switch fully from trip to delivery requests, or vice versa

Note: Due to high driver and courier volume in New York City, those wishing to accept trip requests there will be put on a waitlist.

If you change your earning options:

  • You may lose your loyalty tier status.
  • Your existing documents will need to be reprocessed and you may need to upload new documents.
  • You may need to complete a new background check.
  • Expect a wait of 3-5 business days while we process your documents before you can go back online.

Let us know how you would like to earn with Uber and we’ll be in touch.

For markets where Comfort, Priority, XL or Uber Black are available (excluding NYC), UberX Priority is now a separate option to UberX in your preference filters.

*You can turn it on or off anytime – this means you can receive UberX Priority requests without opting into UberX. You can do this in the Preferences section of your Driver app.*

*For questions, please contact us via the Help section of your Driver app.*
