What is it about?

Starting January 1st, 2021, new regulations for drivers in Poland came into effect. These changes followed an amendment to the Road Transport Act on May 16, 2019.

  • The mobile application can be used for the settlement of trips. A taximeter with proof of legalization is no longer required.
  • Entrepreneurs carrying out the transport of passengers via, for example, a mobile application l have to hold a taxi license from January 1, 2021. This license can be obtained without taking the city topography examination.
  • Passenger transport intermediators (Uber) will only be able to transfer orders to entrepreneurs with a taxi license. Such entrepreneurs will need to mark their vehicles appropriately (with a taxi lamp and the livery required by the city).
  • Uber Poland sp. z o.o. obtained a license for an intermediary in the transport of passengers, which applies from October 1, 2020.

Information for Your drivers

Before accepting a ride, the Uber app displays the name of the city where the ride starts and the destination, so that Your drivers can only accept rides that comply with your Taxi licenses.

Remember – not adding additional taxi licenses to your Partner’s account will have a negative effect on your drivers’ ability to accept rides, force them to return to the main city “empty” and, consequently, may reduce their (and your) revenue. It is worth noting that, depending on the city, trips starting in the suburbs can account for up to 20% of drivers’ revenues.

Be sure to upload all the taxi licenses you have from the city & surroundings to the system using the Uber Driver app or through your portal! Thanks to this, drivers will be able to receive orders in cities where you have a license.

Where to add the documents?

What are the required documents?

To drive with Uber, you need to have a taxi license (yours if you run a business or one issued for your Partner). From January 1, 2021 the documents are necessary to be able to drive with Uber.

How to get all the required documents?

Ensure you can drive without restrictions

We inform you that the new RTA has been published and beyond September 17th cars which don’t have the excerpt for a specific municipality as well as you having the taxi license won’t be able to receive trips. This deadline is a legal one and it won’t be moved. Please note it takes up to one month from the moment you applied for a municipal license before you receive it.

Example:
Avoid getting a car blocked  in the Warsaw area by adding not only the license ’01. [PARTNER] Taxi license Warsaw/ Taxi license Warsaw’ in the ‘Documents’ section, but also the vehicle excerpt from the license ‘Vehicle excerpt from taxi license Warsaw/ Vehicle taxi excerpt Warsaw’ in the aforementioned ‘Vehicles’ section.

Check in the city hall

Remember to check if there are any additional requirements in your city, like for example car livery. Prepare for your visit in the office by checking up-to-date info on a dedicated website:

Do you have everything now?

That’s great! Keep driving with Uber app!
