Uber - Driver: Drive & Deliver

Uber Driver is the app trusted by over 10 million drivers and couriers worldwide. Whether you want to drive passengers or deliver food; you choose when, where, and how you work to earn extra income on the side.

DRIVE
Accept trip requests in your area, see your fare upfront before you accept, and earn per ride. Driving is one of the most popular ways to turn your car into a side hustle.

DELIVER
Deliver food from restaurants, shop for and deliver groceries, deliver packages, or take on catering orders. Use a car, bike, scooter, or go on foot in eligible cities. No car required to start delivering. Get started as a delivery driver.

FLEXIBILITY
No set shifts. No set schedules. No boss. Go online when it works for you and stop when you're done. Whether you drive, deliver, or switch between both, you stay in control. In most markets, there are no zone restrictions once online.

GUIDANCE
Know where demand is before you head out. The in-app heatmap, Earning Trends, and Opportunities show busy areas and help you decide the best time and place to go online.

SAFETY
Safety tools are built directly into the app. Features include Record My Ride audio recording, Women Rider Preference settings, live in-app support available 24/7, and full integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you stay focused on the road.

REWARDS
Uber Pro rewards drivers. Uber Eats Pro rewards couriers. Reach Gold, Platinum, or Diamond status to unlock priority access to higher-paying trips and deliveries, gas savings, Costco membership, and perks that improve your time on the road.
