Uber Driver Safety Standards and Insurance

All Uber drivers are required to maintain strict safety standards. Before their first trip, they undergo comprehensive background checks, including reviews for driving violations, impaired driving, and criminal records. Uber rescreens drivers annually to ensure ongoing compliance. Additionally, drivers must adhere to health and safety protocols related to the Covid-19 pandemic, as recommended by local, provincial, or federal health authorities. 

Uber also offers various safety programs and features that can be enabled through the app, enhancing the safety of both drivers and passengers. For more information, visit the Uber Rider Safety information site here.   

In terms of insurance, Uber maintains commercial auto insurance to cover accidents, including at least $1 million in liability insurance once a ride is accepted. This ensures that both drivers and passengers are protected during the ride.
