ABOUT

A project documenting real UBER drivers and the times they went above and beyond!

“A few moments into a trip, one of my passengers started screaming and I quickly realised she was in labour. She began to shout “the baby’s coming out!”, so I told her to push. I didn’t care about not being at the hospital or about the mess in the car, all that mattered was her doing what she needed to.
Afterwards, I wrote to the Uber team asking them to refund the customer’s journey and waive the car cleaning fee because, honestly, what’s a bit of mess compared to a new life? This was one of those situations where you have to look at things from an emotional, human point of view rather than financial.” - Ariful, Partner Driver for 5 Years

“I was driving a couple down the countryside when I noticed something in the bushes. It was a very small and frightened dog, and the wife got out and picked it up. The collar mentioned that it was a deaf dog, so it would be even harder for it to find its way home. I told the wife it was okay to bring the dog in the car.
I was more than happy to oblige when the husband asked if we could drive around to find the owner. We did so for over an hour during a busy night. The husband offered to pay for the fares lost over the time but I told him not to worry, doing a good deed is more important than making money.” - Kamran, Partner Driver for 1.5 years
