It's possible that trips taken with Uber Kyle $3.14 could have surge pricing applied. But riders always see the cost of a trip (and the multiplier to standard rates if surge pricing applies) before requesting so they can ultimately make the decision not to use their Voucher in this scenario. Visit the Uber website for more info.

Tips are not included in the $10 subsidy and are up to the discretion of the rider.

You may incur fees for cancellations or no-shows of a requested ride. These fees will not be covered by the subsidy. For details, review Uber's cancellation and no-show policy. For more information, go to the Uber website.

For the Uber voucher to work, you must be at or by your pickup location when making the request. Rides that are booked in advance will not be eligible for the subsidy.

f the voucher doesn't work, make sure that the Uber app is up to date and that the trip starts and ends within city limits or is a location covered by the Uber Kyle program.

To access the Uber Kyle $3.14 program, users need a smartphone and an active Uber account. 

Before anyone can drive with Uber in the US, they must complete a background check and drivers continue to be vetted every year. In addition, there is a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy. Uber also provides $1 million liability insurance for all drivers and vehicles. If you do experience a safety incident, you can use the in-app emergency button to call 911 to get help if you need it. The app displays your location and trip details, so you can quickly share them with the 911 dispatcher. For more information, visit the Uber website.

  • Always stand in the designated pickup Uber pickup location.
  • Avoid spending time standing outside the designated pickup area.
  • You can choose to wait inside until the app shows the driver is 2 minutes away and then can walk to the designated pickup location.
  • Always observe your surroundings and be cautious.
  • Never get into a car with someone who claims to be an Uber driver without asking to see identification or asking the driver to verify your name and destination.
  • Use your smartphone flashlight (if needed) to confirm the license plate number and to clearly identify the driver.

Safety Tips

When using Uber Kyle, take a few simple steps to help make sure your ride is safe:

Request your ride while you are still indoors, if possible.

Before getting in, confirm the license plate, vehicle make and model, and driver photo match what is shown in the Uber app.

Ask the driver to confirm your name before you enter the vehicle.

Sit in the back seat when possible, especially if you are riding alone. This gives you more space and allows you to exit from either side of the vehicle when needed.

Always wear your seat belt.

Use the Share Trip Status feature in the Uber app to share your driver’s name, photo, license plate, location and estimated arrival time with a friend or family member.

Trust your instincts. If you ever feel unsafe or are in an emergency, call 911. You can also use Uber’s Safety Toolkit in the app to access safety features and share your real-time location and trip details with a dispatcher.

Please respect your driver, the vehicle and other passengers, as outlined in Uber’s Community Guidelines.

After your trip, use the Uber app to rate your ride and report any safety concerns. Uber’s support team is available through the app.
