All driver-partners need to pass a vehicle inspection before taking their first trip with Uber. As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and quality, we've partnered with several third-party vehicle inspection services, including [names of companies] that can provide you with vehicle safety checks. You will need to have your vehicle inspected every 12 months (depends on your city).
