As an Uber driver, I'm concerned about my safety. How can I avoid taking passengers who may cause me trouble or danger?

As an Uber driver, you have the right to decline a ride at any time if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable for any reason. Prior to accepting a fare, make sure the passenger’s information (including their name and picture) is shown on your app. Always stay in communication with the passenger after you pick them up, let them know who you are and where you’re going. During rides, be extra vigilant of your surroundings; keep away from high crime or traffic areas and pay attention for any suspicious behavior from passengers. Don't hesitate to exit out of a situation that makes you feel uneasy - always remember your safety is paramount!

There are certain steps you can take to help ensure your safety as an Uber driver. Before accepting a passenger, you can check their profile picture and background to make sure they appear legitimate. You can also ask the passenger for verification of their booking, such as through a email or text message that includes the booking reference number and trip details. During the ride, remember to stay aware of your surroundings and keep away from high-crime or risky areas when possible. Finally, if a passenger makes you feel uncomfortable for any reason, it's okay to decline service - Uber drivers are never obligated to provide rides to anyone.
