Questions from riders and drivers answered by our Ride Gurus and Rideshare Experts
I am in the market for a new car, but I want to make sure it'll be eligible for Uber. (probably UberX or XL) I sent three inquiries to Uber but I haven't gotten a response at all.
I looked at the requirements, like number of seats, 15 years old, seatbelts, etc., but I heard some vehicles aren't allowed like vans that are too large. (commercial?) Do you have a list?
Below is the entire list that Uber has posted to give a clearer guidance to its drivers. This was in response to questions for "New York City", but people are being referred to it from other cities, so it should be used as a reliable reference.
Note: The following vehicle list is not exhaustive. If your vehicle model is not listed, please feel free to get in touch with Uber to find out if it is eligible.
