Uber - Request a ride

Ride booking in one place

Uber - Request a ride connects passengers with drivers through a map-based booking service. Enter a destination, review available ride choices, and follow the vehicle’s progress as it approaches. It suits commuters, visitors, airport passengers, and anyone who needs a car without arranging transport by phone.

Choices before you travel

The app presents different ride types where they are available, including options for individual passengers, groups, and higher-comfort journeys. It can show an estimated fare and pickup time before you confirm, making it easier to compare the trip with other transport choices. Some locations also support scheduled rides, electric vehicle options, and additional services such as deliveries or food orders.

Useful journey tools

• Live map tracking: See the driver’s location and follow the trip while it is in progress.
• Pickup details: Review the meeting point, vehicle information, and driver details inside the booking.
• Safety features: Tools such as trip sharing, driver or vehicle identification, PIN verification, and emergency assistance may be available depending on location.
• Multiple service types: Choose between available fare levels and vehicle categories rather than requesting one fixed kind of ride.
