About Uber

Uber is the largest ride-hailing app in the US. Drivers use their own eligible car, go online when they want and accept trip requests in the Uber Driver app. In most cities you see an upfront fare, based on the expected time and distance, pickup distance and surge pricing, before you accept a trip, and tips go to you on top. A weekly statement shows how each week's fares were split between you, Uber and costs such as commercial insurance and government fees. Uber does not publish average earnings.

Who can apply

Uber's US requirements page says new drivers must meet the minimum age for their city, listed as at least 25, and have at least one year of licensed driving experience in the US. You need an eligible 4-door vehicle and must share your license, vehicle registration and insurance and pass a screening. Requirements vary by city, so check the page for yours.
