Do Uber drivers pick you up when it rains?
The Guru Take
Sure. The demand may be higher however.
Yes, as long as the drivers are working and accepting fares, they will come pick you up rain or snow.
Now, is the question about whether there will be drivers out on the road? Do drivers take days off when it rains? No, not typically. In urban areas, the demand for Uber and taxi services increase when the weahter is bad due to people not wanting to walk or bother taking public transportation. Therefore, it is a good opportunity for drivers to be out on the road to grab more fares.
Severe weather may be a different story, such as a snowy condition, as it could be dangerous and people may not be out in general. The drivers may try to avoid those times. However, this is when the surge pricing kicks in and drivers may be incentivized to be out on the road.
