Opting out of Intercity trips

If at any time you decide you no longer want to receive Intercity requests, you can opt out by going to Preferences in the Driver app and deselecting INTERCITY.

Return trips to home cities

If you take an Uber Intercity trip from your home city to another city, then you’ll be prioritized to receive a return trip request back to your home city.

However, trips are dependent on market conditions. Uber can’t guarantee that you’ll receive such trip requests.
