Uber Driver is the app trusted by over 10 million drivers and couriers worldwide. Whether you want to drive passengers or deliver food; you choose when, where, and how you work to earn extra income on the side. DRIVE Take passengers where they need to go using your car. Accept trip requests in your area, see your fare upfront before you accept, and earn per ride. Driving is one of the most popular ways to turn your car into a side hustle. DELIVER Deliver food from restaurants, shop for and deliver groceries, deliver packages, or take on catering orders. Use a car, bike, scooter, or go on foot in eligible cities. No car required to start delivering. Get started as a delivery driver. FLEXIBILITY No set shifts. No set schedules. No boss. Go online when it works for you and stop when you're done. Whether you drive, deliver, or switch between both, you stay in control. In most markets, there are no zone restrictions once you're online. GUIDANCE Know where demand is before you head out. The in-app heatmap shows busy areas near you. Earning Trends and Opportunities help both drivers and couriers decide the best time and place to go online and earn more. SAFETY Safety tools are built directly into the app. Features include Record My Ride audio recording, Women Rider Preference settings, live in-app support available 24/7, and full integration with Apple CarPlay so you stay focused on the road. REWARDS Uber Pro rewards drivers. Uber Eats Pro rewards couriers. Reach Gold, Platinum, or Diamond status to unlock priority access to higher-paying trips and deliveries, gas savings, Costco membership, and everyday perks that improve your time on the road.

Using navigation can decrease your phone’s battery life. Uber content/messages may be human or machine translated per device settings—accuracy not guaranteed. COMMON QUESTIONS Can I drive passengers and make deliveries using the same app? Yes. The Uber Driver app supports both rideshare and delivery. Switch between the two at any time based on what's available near you—one app for every way you want to earn. Is driving or delivering with Uber a good side hustle? Yes. There are no minimum hours or schedules. Go online for a few hours around your job, school, or other commitments—then stop when you're done. Do I need a car to get started? No. In eligible cities, you can deliver by bike, e-bike, scooter, or on foot. If you want to drive passengers, a qualifying vehicle is required. What rewards do drivers and couriers get? Uber Pro (for drivers) and Uber Eats Pro (for couriers) offer tiered rewards at Gold, Platinum, and Diamond levels—including gas cash back, Costco membership, and perks that help you get more out of every trip.

Pretty solid, but lacking some enhancements for drivers
12/19/2025

The app works pretty solidly and predictably but is lacking some features that would be great for drivers. The first one is when you have more than one car in service you are to select which car you are driving for the session. Remembering to do that sometimes it is difficult every time you get in the car to go drive and it’s not super easy to get to to make the change. Further, if you don’t pick the right car that you are driving for the session and you begin driving, you cannot make a change to your other cars until you close the app and log off and then change the car and then go back online. What’s the most concerning? Is that if you don’t select the right car and you take Rides and you are driving another car you are not covered by Ubers insurance which is a huge risk. The other problem with the app is that when an Uber reserve ride gets offered to you and you accept it. It doesn’t say when the reservation begins until you have actually accepted it. And you don’t know until you actually get there to see the notes on the ride. I have done this multiple times and I have to sit and wait for sometimes 30 to 45 minutes. Waiting for the reservation to begin. This is an issue with the app a significant issue. It should tell you at offer when the reservation actually starts, but Uber hides this information from the driver. The other issue is that unlike Lyft, they don’t tell you what your hourly rate is on that offer you have to do the math in your head quickly.

Bugs

App has been a great filler for a part time job, and allows you to make money that is suitable for you. There are some bugs though, such as the acceptance feature of matching the driver to a delivery and duplicate deliveries. I had an order to pick up for an estimated 42 dollars, so naturally I was intrigued to see such a high delivery. It turned out that once arriving to the restaurant and waiting for the order almost 10 minutes, I was told that the order was already picked up by someone . This made me feel like I was cheated out of the order. In result, uber support gave me a 3 dollar incentive for my “patience and wait time”. I understand that I did not complete the pick up ,however, there should be higher accountability on their behalf for falsely matching me to an order that was already in progress of being delivered. I know the tip on the order was at least 33 dollars due to the short total of 10 miles. I am a new driver less than two weeks in on uber and I feel that as a new “employee” I was neglected. This is an amazing app if you want to boost your earnings without compromising full time work schedule. I’m glad they constantly update the app to improve the map quality and driver experience. I just wish my time and anticipation was worth more than 3 dollars … Try it out with a reliable vehicle that you don’t mind driving for hours at a time or racking up miles. Once you gain a decent strategy and stick to it you’ll definitely see more good results.

Honestly far better than DoorDash!

I have to say in almost 3000 trips with Uber Eats versus the 600 trip. I probably did with DoorDash. I’m I have to say that Uber Eats is so much better in terms of just the app itself. It’s more clear. There’s no issues if you leave a certain area doesn’t kick you out of the app you can work for a total of 12 hours. You don’t have to schedule yourself and it’s just easy to use plus the map that Uber uses, especially for apartments is fairly spot on. I think maybe there’s been a handful of times that I can count where it’s not been pinpoint to the apartment, but if anybody is looking to do side work gig job whatever I would say Uber is exactly the app and exactly the company you should go for. Also, it’s nice because the Uber Pro Card that you can use to receive your money they give you something called a backup balance and depending on your status as a driver you can get up to $150 is almost like a loan against yourself so if you need an additional amount of money and then you just pay it back when you work the next time or if you get a deposit, I will just pay it off for you and then you can access it at any point so I would highly recommend Uber Eats. I tell everybody I see if they are also doing gig work and they’re working for DoorDash I try to explain to them how much better Uber is so definitely 100% recommend if I could give more than five stars I would!

Good app overall
06/30/2025

I’ve been using this app for about a year now, and I think that it is a good app, overall. I have tried using competing apps, but I kept coming back to this one. I feel like the app is very user friendly and has an easy to learn set up. I have been using this app as my primary source of income for the past 6 months and have been able to pay my rent and bills this way. I think it is a good way to earn money fast. There reason for 4 stars is because I think there are some things that need work. Firstly, I think that the “busy” times are inaccurate. I have been in an area during the “busy” hours and didn’t get any offers for an order for over an hour. I think that a feature like this is very convenient for us using the app, but only if it is updated regularly and accurate. A second issue with the app is navigation. I feel like the navigation is inaccurate too often, making it hard to deliver orders. I think that it should be more regularly checked and updated. Lastly, I think that too many deals cost more to do (in gas) than I would make. I think that this is especially frustrating as a high level driver. I think that the offers need to be a bit better to make it worth my while to do them.Overall, I think this is an easy way to make quick money and it is a pretty solid app. If the things mentioned were looked at and fixed, I think this app would be just about perfect!
