UBER CAR REQUIREMENTS


IS MY CAR ELIGIBLE FOR UBER AUSTRALIA?

 

The vehicle requirements for Uber Driver Partners are quite simple whether you’re driving for UberX, UberXL, Comfort or Premier. Each city has its own car requirements for Uber and all vehicles must be covered by compulsory third party (CTP) insurance and have at least third party property damage insurance. 

 

As a basis for the vehicle to be approved for Uber it must:

 

  •   Pass the minimum Uber Car Age limit (<12 Years for UberX cars)
  •   Be registered in the state or territory where you will be driving for Uber 
  •   Have 4 doors with external handles
  •   Seatbelts for all passengers (inc. driver)
  •   Pass the relevant Car Inspection for Uber to ensure the Vehicle meets all safety standards (Pink Slip in NSW)
  •   Satisfies all Uber Insurance Requirements 

 

Still wondering whether your Car is approved for Uber? I’ve got you covered. I have attached a detailed table below of the Full Uber Vehicle Requirements for the different Uber Driving Platforms in the state of New South Wales, Australia. 

 

(Check the vehicle requirements in your city on the official Uber Website -> https://www.uber.com/au/en/ if you plan to drive in a different state or territory).
