Check your ride, every time

Step 1: Match the number plate.
Step 2: Match the car make and model.
Step 3: If you have a smartphone, check the driver's photo. This is available in the trip link provided in the SMS
Our commitment to your safety
Your number stays private in the app
Your phone number is private–and it should stay that way. We use technology to keep your number private, so drivers will not see your phone number when you call through the app.
GPS Tracking
Your healthcare organisation has your driver’s information and will be notified when you’ve been picked up and dropped off
All drivers are screened
All Driver-partners pass a screening process that includes a background check before they can drive using the Uber app, in accordance with government requirements.
Tips for your ride

If your ride has been scheduled, please be ready to go 5 minutes early. If you’re redeeming your own ride, make sure you’re ready to go when you reply to the text
Leave your route and payment to others
Your driver has your pickup and dropoff locations, as well as turn-by-turn GPS directions. Payments are taken care of electronically by your healthcare organisation.
Give feedback and reviews
Please share thoughts about your ride with your healthcare organisation. If you left an item, contact your healthcare organisation and they’ll work with Uber to track it down.
