This company (Uber) continues to grow every day. Almost every day you will hear that they just opened another branch in a new city. Right now it is estimated that they are in about 15 countries and 300 cities.

Initially this company was founded as a lifestyle business centered on uber black. To get an uber black car, you had to dial their phone number and a driver with a black car would come and pick you up. However, things have totally changed. In those days it was livery drivers but now Uber partners and drivers are a more diverse group.

Uber partners and drivers: It basically means that the company has partners who also act as drivers. This company has reduced the nightmare everyone went through hailing a cab passing by. Their drivers are always at standby whether it is raining or snowing. Their drivers are rated also; this helps you know how reliable the driver you requested is.

You can locate their cars because the GPS enabled mobile application provides passengers information on where potential drivers are, and how far they are from you. You will enjoy your trip in these cars because their drivers are motivated by the rating system to provide good customer service. You need to download their app (the Uber app), and then use Google maps to locate their cars. On the next page you are allowed to situate the meeting place (your pickup address).

Uber’s growth has led the company to incorporate Uber Partners. To get more information on how to become an Uber partner, you need to do some or all of the following: Read blog posts like the one linked to in the previous sentence. Attend their public functions near you. (This will help you gather more information that you cannot find on the internet). Note -You can drive your own car, if you plan to work with Uber. You just have to make sure your car is uber approved (See Page on uberkit.net’s analysis of 580 UberX cars – perhaps this can help you in your car selection process).

Once you are approved by uber (it generally takes between 1 to 2 weeks) you can immediately start offering their services.
