Who are the Transportation Providers?

UBER QUALIFIED

RIDER RATED

LICENSED & INSURED

Uber only partners with

drivers who have a keen
eye for customer service
and a passion for the
trade.

Tell us what you think.

Your feedback helps us
work with drivers to
constantly improve the
Uber experience.

From insurance to
background checks, every
driver meets or beats
local regulations.

Driver Application Process

Uber partners exclusively with drivers working with licensed car rental/
transportation companies.

Every driver is required to clear background checks, go through inperson training, and possess valid documentation in order to qualify.

Insurance

Every driver partner is required to have commercial insurance.

This means, from pickup to drop off, every Uber ride is fully insured.

Why is Uber a strong

partner for women?

PARTNER DRIVERS
FLEXIBILITY : Fit the job around your life

Decide when and where you want to drive.

I drive when I want to, around my kids

schedules and my business. I was tired of
working overnights at Walmart.
Now I can earn money to build my business
doing something that I love, and that makes a
difference to the community as well!
-

Lisa, Tampa Bay, Florida

SAFETY : Nobodys a stranger

Drivers know their riders. There are no

anonymous pickups or street hails.

Drivers rate riders after each trip so Uber

can remove problematic riders from the
system.

Drivers can get real-time help from a

member of the Uber team inside the Uber
app.

EARNINGS EQUALITY : No gender wage gap

Women and men earn the same fares in each city.

The process to become a driver-partner is the same regardless of gender.

Rides are allocated based on proximity to passenger.

What I love about Uber is that you get out of it what you put in. There is no economic
inequality and no favoritism. Im in control and its so cool!
- Jessica, San Diego
