Your friends behind the steering wheel

They take you to your destination whenever you need. They move you, sometimes through their remarkable life stories and sometimes going above and beyond to make your ride experience magical. They’re the friends you never knew you had.

With Friendship Day right around the corner, we’ve collected stories of some heartwarming Uber journeys where new friendships came to life.

This  Friendship Day, we want to give you the opportunity to thank and recognise your driver friends for the things they do to make the experience more memorable and fun. It’s a small step we’re taking to make saying thank you easier and to celebrate drivers who go the extra mile.

Once you leave a compliment, your drivers will get a notification in app, taking them to the message and the compliments badge they’ve collected – whether that’s for expert navigation, great music choice or excellent service.

Sometimes a simple gesture can go a long way — whether you’re in the backseat or behind the steering wheel.  It’s a small but important way of saying thank you — on behalf of us and riders everywhere.
