Do I qualify as an Uber driver?

Uber has a set of requirements for anyone who wants to drive with Uber. 

 

To qualify as an Uber ride-share driver or delivery partner, you must be aged 18 or above and undergo a background screening. Additionally, it is fundamental to hold a valid driver’s license. Also, among other documents, you will need proper documentation of your vehicle, including a vehicle registration certificate and working auto insurance.

 

What is the “Opportunities nearby” prompt on the app?

The Uber Driver application has a feature that enables drivers to find high-volume locations. The app alerts the user by providing details of where to drive for more trips. The app will also send alerts when you are in a “busy area.” The primary idea is to enable the driver-partners to maximize their earnings by moving them to areas with greater expected trip requests. 

 

The driver-partner can simply tap on the in-app map and locate regions with more trip requests from Uber customers. The app will guide them to the nearby high request density location. Also, note that this feature is available only for ride-share drivers.

 

Does the Uber Driver app keep a record of my earnings?

Yes, the Driver application comes with a personalized dashboard that can help you track your earnings. This feature allows you to view a consolidated summary of your earnings. You can check your earnings after each trip as well. So, to track your earnings, follow the below-given steps:

  1. Visit the Uber Driver app
  2. On your map screen, navigate to the “Fare” icon
  3. Now, you can simply swipe your screen to look at your daily and weekly earnings

 

Do delivery partners have access to “Trip Planner?”

No. Uber delivery partners cannot access “Trip Planner” as of now but the company plans on introducing the feature soon. As for ride-share drivers, the feature can be accessed from the map screen. Additionally, it enables the driver to view promotions and set trip preferences at one place, among others.

 

Where can I find the app?

You can download the application from Google Play Store for Android devices or Apple App Store for iOS. And, it is readily available across countries and regions.
