I'm an Uber driver in Detroit with a compact SUV and a compact crossover Chevy HHR.
The compact SUV fits only folding wheelchairs as far as I know and HHR might fit a full wheelchair.
I suggest immediately messaging the driver on the app and posting the dimensions of the wheelchair when you request a ride. They may be able to measure the space but don't expect them to carry a tape measure. There's no sense in getting a ride you can't accept because your chair won't fit.
Via is a platform for sharing rides largely for someone disabled people I think.
Uber has Uber WAV service in some places for wheelchair accessible vehicles.
