How to Call Uber Driver Support

Uber driver support is a feature launched by Uber for its driver partners. It is a platform through which Uber’s drivers can reach out to the company’s management. With the introduction of this phone support program, drivers can directly make contact with Uber to find quick solutions to issues faced by them.

INTRODUCTION

In 2017, Uber announced its intention to launch a driver support program on the Uber app. Uber said this was a long time suggestion of its driver partners throughout the world.

They wanted an option contact the company’s representatives whenever they needed help on Uber’s platform. Initially, Uber tested this phone support feature for drivers in US cities like San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego, Denver, and Austin.

This, we assume, is to test the efficiency if this new idea and to fix bugs before a full launch. The driver help program was initially launched only in English.

Uber extended this program to drivers and partners in and Canadian cities. Uberlaunched a Spanish language support feature launched in September that year. By 2019, Uber driver support is available to drivers in all parts of the world in more than 30 languages.
