Other Information

We do our best to facilitate the return of lost items and help you connect with your driver. However, it is important to note that drivers are independent contractors, and hence, Uber and drivers do not bear responsibility for an item left in the vehicle after a trip ends.

In case your driver denies possession and you are certain that you left the item in the vehicle, you can always proceed legally and we’ll comply with the required information through appropriate channels.

Our privacy policy restricts us from sharing details about your driver. However, the trip receipt contains the driver’s license plate number and Name.

To protect your personal information such as your phone number, each time you contact the driver through the Uber app, your number is masked.
