How safe is the Uber app?
Your safety is important to us. Uber has a global security team that works hard to prevent incidents. To learn more about the security features in the app, as well as safeguards such as GPS tracking and phone number anonymisation, follow the link below.
Can I share my account with friends?
Uber’s terms and conditions do not allow sharing of driver accounts. Another driver using your account poses a serious safety concern. If we learn that a driver did not match the driver profile displayed by a rider’s app, the account will be immediately suspended pending an investigation.
Accepting cash
When you’re picking up a rider who is paying in Cash, a Cash badge will appear in your app as you get near their destination. When you arrive and complete the trip, your app will show Collect cash at the top.
Do I have to own a car?
If you’re interested in driving with the Uber app, but don’t own a car, you can get one from our partners, or from a fleet manager in some areas. Note that vehicle options may vary by city.
Find a Fleet Partner with available vehicles.
