If Uber Eats is available in your city, you can opt in to receive delivery requests through the same app you use to accept trip requests. This option can help you keep earning if ride requests are low in your area.
You can also use either the heatmap or merchant hotspot feature to find the busiest times and areas to drive or deliver around you. It uses data from the past 28 days to show you current surge areas, wait times between trips, trip request trends, and promotions.
With the trip type preference feature, you can select what type of requests you’d like to receive. You can modify your trip type settings as much as you’d like anytime you’re online. Your preferences will remain set even when you go offline.
When you go online to drive, you’ll only receive the trip types that are selected in your trip type preferences. You may find that certain trip type settings lead to fewer requests. Adjusting your settings to include all trip types will help you receive more trip requests.
You can also opt in to all eligible offerings and receive the maximum amount of requests from the Preferences tab or by going into your Work Hub.
If you can’t see the trip type preferences when you follow the steps outlined above, try the below troubleshooting steps:
Please keep in mind that some preferences can’t be toggled. For example, Comfort and Premier may be included in UberX preferences.
