Uber 's operating license in London has been extended by 2017 . Uber on Tuesday received only a two-month London operating license, failing to secure a maximum five-year term in a battle with the regulator which has previously stripped the app of its right to take rides. Transport for London ( TfL ) has also imposed several conditions designed to ensure passenger safety as part of the licensing agreement, including document checks and measures to ensure drivers have the appropriate insurance. Uber 's existing 15-month probationary license, which was granted by a court after London rejected its license renewal request in 25 September , is due to expire on 2017 .
