Uber offers the Women Rider Preference for drivers who identify as women or non-binary. This feature allows you to select a preference for women riders.
Setting your rider preference
To enable or disable the Women Rider Preference, follow these simple steps:
- Open the Uber Driver App.
- Tap the 3 horizontal lines in the bottom right to open the “Trip Planner”.
- Tap the preferences icon (bottom right corner) to access your driving preferences.
- Use the “Woman Riders” toggle to turn the preference on or off.
Important notes:
- Enabling this feature may lead to fewer trip opportunities, which could affect your earnings.
- Uber cannot ensure that all rider matches will be women. If you are paired with a rider you believe to be male, you can cancel the trip and choose “”I selected trips with women riders” as your reason.
- This selected preference won’t affect your cancellation rate, and you won’t be charged for the cancellation provided you cancel at the pickup location.
- A woman may still bring male companions, as long as she is present for the ride.
Respecting diversity:
- Keep in mind that our community is diverse, including individuals with various gender identities and expressions. Some women may not fit your expectations of “femininity”.
Activating this preference:
- You need to sign a form confirming that your gender, as updated in-app, is a true reflection of your identity. Sign the form here.
- After signing, respond to Uber’s message titled “I’ve updated my gender identify” to inform Uber Support, the team will then review your submission.
