Uber’s mission is to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: How do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 42 billion trips later, we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.

Drivers and couriers using Uber are independent contractors who work on their own schedule with flexible hours. Uber is available in more than 15,000 cities worldwide. Signing up is easy for most people. We welcome rideshare drivers and couriers who have been active on other apps and services. Delivering with Uber is a good way to earn additional money. And you might also be eligible to drive with Uber. It’s easy to get started.
