Uber Taxi FAQs

What is Uber Taxi?

Uber Taxi is a new option in the app that allows you to travel whenever you need, at any time and place in the city. This time, a Driver Partner will arrive in a taxi type vehicle to take you to your destination.

What payment methods are available for Uber Taxi?

The payment methods accepted for Uber Taxi trips are credit card, debit card, cash, and Uber Cash.

Before confirming your trip request, select the payment method you prefer, as the Driver Partner cannot change it during the trip.

In Barbados and St. Lucia, Taxi trips cannot be paid in cash.

How can I request an Uber Taxi trip?

To request an Uber Taxi trip in the app, follow these steps:

  • Open your Uber app.
  • Enter the starting point and drop-off location for your trip.
  • Choose the “Uber Taxi” option, if it’s available in the selected location.
  • Confirm the starting point and the destination.
  • A Driver Partner will accept your request and will pick you up to take you to your destination.
  • At the end of the trip, rate the Driver Partner.

What happens if I leave an item behind?

If you forget an item in the vehicle, we ask that you contact the Driver Partner to coordinate the delivery.

You can contact the Driver Partner through the app by following these steps:

  • Open the app and tap the 3 lines in the upper left corner of the screen.
  • Tap the “Your Trips” option.
  • Choose the trip where you lost your item.
  • In the “Help” section, select the “Lost Items” option.
  • Click on “Contact Driver Partner for a lost item.”

You should establish the details for the return of the item directly with the Driver Partner. In some cases, a return fee may apply to retrieve the lost item.

Why did I receive a taxi vehicle for my trip if I selected the UberX option?

In some cities and countries, taxi type vehicles may accept ridesharing trips, depending on the category of their vehicles (Uber X, Comfort, or Black). Thus, if the user requests a ridesharing trip, a taxi driver may be selected for that trip. This can help you to have a ride with a shorter waiting time.

If I requested an UberX trip and received a taxi, which fare should I pay? Do I need to pay the value displayed in the taximeter?

If you received a taxi type vehicle after requesting an UberX trip, your final fare will be the upfront price displayed in the Uber app. This will be an UberX trip for all intents and purposes, including the price.
