Make sure that you wait for your driver in a safe well-lit area, preferably with someone, until your confirmed driver has arrived. It is never a good idea to have your phone in clear sight outdoors or in the dark or to wait alone if you can help it.Identify the vehicle registration plate and cross-check with the app.
Ask for your driver’s name and check the in-app photo – you also have the ability to click into and enlarge the driver photo in-app. Rides taken on the Uber platform can only be requested through the Uber app, so no matter how much of a hurry you may be in, don’t feel pressured to accept street hail solicitations from anyone claiming to operate on the Uber app.Another feature available to riders is Real-Time ID Check which prompts drivers periodically to take a selfie prior to accepting rides and compares it to the driver’s profile photo. This helps ensure the person driving matches the account registered on the app..
