Can You Take Pets in Uber?

Uber Pet Policy

Uber's pet policy states that pets are allowed in Uber rides, as long as they are well-behaved and do not cause any damage to the vehicle. The pet must be in a carrier or on a leash at all times, and the driver has the right to refuse service to any pet that they deem to be disruptive or dangerous.

How to Take Your Pet in an Uber

  1. Select the Uber Pet option when you request a ride. This will let the driver know that you have a pet, and they will be prepared for your arrival.
  2. Make sure your pet is in a carrier or on a leash before you enter the vehicle.
  3. Keep your pet calm and quiet during the ride. If your pet becomes disruptive, the driver may ask you to leave the vehicle.
  4. Be prepared to pay a pet fee. Uber charges a pet fee of $5 for each ride, in addition to the regular fare.
