Designing a safer experience

Features to help keep you safe

The app is built with technology to help you stay connected to your loved ones, our team, and emergency authorities, so you can go even further.

Help if you need it

Specially trained incident response teams are available anytime right from the app.

An inclusive community

Through our joint efforts with cities and safety experts and by working together, we’re helping to create safe journeys for everyone.

Peace of mind, wherever you go

Safety is designed into the experience. So you feel comfortable driving at night. So you can tell loved ones where you’re going. And so you know you have someone to turn to if anything happens.*

Emergency assistance button

You can use the in-app emergency button to call authorities to get help if you need it. The app displays your location and trip details, so you can quickly share them with emergency services.

24/7 incident support

Uber customer associates trained in incident response are available around the clock.

Follow My Ride

Friends and family can follow your route and will know as soon as you arrive.

2-way ratings

Your feedback matters. Low-rated trips are logged, and users may be removed to protect the Uber community.

GPS tracking

All Uber rides are tracked from start to finish, so there’s a record of your trip if something happens.

Rider verification through ID documents

New users who pay in cash must provide a valid identity document such as a citizenship card or passport to validate their identity.

Automatic learning technology in security measures

In order to identify in real time possible risks that may arise, the technology implemented through automated algorithms allows Uber to block potentially unsafe trips.

Coverage you can count on

Uber partners with leading insurance providers to help protect every trip.

Strengthening our community

Uber’s Community Guidelines help riders and drivers enjoy a stress-free ride. Any person who doesn’t follow the guidelines may be at risk of being removed from the platform for the safety of the entire Uber community.
