As outlined in our Community Guidelines, no one other than the requesting rider and the rider's guests are permitted in the vehicle. This means that friends and family of drivers may not ride in their vehicle during a trip.
Number of passengers
This option can accommodate parties of up to 4 people, with one person in the front seat and 3 in the back.
The UberX Share feature will allow you to share a ride with another rider going in the same direction. You will get an upfront discount if you choose UberX Share in the Uber app. You'll also get up to 20 per cent off the total fare if you are matched with a co-rider along your journey.

Typically, UberX can transport up to four passengers at once, but there are no space requirements when it comes to luggage. That means you can expect to have some room for luggage if you are traveling alone or in a small group.
Regular vehicle capacity
Because the front seat is now accessible, this means that all vehicle capacity is back to its original capacity. For example, an UberX or Uber Exec can now carry 4 passengers instead of 3.
During COVID, you'll ride with only one other passenger at any point on your trip. If a co-rider is dropped off before you, it's possible the app will search for another co-rider, but it's designed to only look for people going your way to avoid adding more than 8 minutes to the ride.
UberX — This is the standard Uber service, offering rides for up to 4 passengers. UberXL — Like UberX, but bigger, offering capacity for up to 6 passengers. UberSELECT — Where available, this service offers higher-end vehicles than UberX, while still being more affordable than UberBLACK.
To request an UberPool pickup either first select the UberPool vehicle option on the slider at the bottom of the app's screen or select the UberX vehicle option then, toggle on the 'Find an UberPool match' option.
UberX Share is the cheapest Uber service.
The same goes for drop-offs: The Uber app will tell your driver to drop off passengers according to the most efficient route. It's a great, cheap option if you don't mind sharing your ride with a stranger.
Request. Open the app and enter your destination in the "Where to?" box. Once you confirm your pickup and destination addresses are correct, select UberXL at the bottom of your screen. Then tap Confirm UberXL.
The short answer is no. Uber drivers cannot have a passenger in their car when picking up riders.

Actually, there is no difference between UberX and Uber – UberX is simply a basic level of service that Uber offers. Uber offers a variety of service level options. They range from cheaper, economy rides to pricier luxury rides.
The UberX option offers some extra services, such as car seats, accessible rides, and additional options to accommodate passengers for a small fee. UberX is a peer-to-peer ridesharing service that makes it easy to access affordable, private rides.
UberX is an on-demand, private ride service for one to four people. It boasts the lowest fares of any private Uber ride service. It uses modern, comfortable sedan vehicles and drivers who are at least 21 years old and have passed a background check. Expect vehicles like Toyota Corollas, Nissan Pulsars and Honda Civics.
Uber's terms and conditions do not allow sharing of driver accounts. Another driver using your account poses a serious safety concern. If we learn that a driver did not match the profile displayed by a rider's app, the account will be immediately suspended pending an investigation.
In the high-tech world that offers you the opportunity to hail a ride through an app on your mobile phone, you might think it's easy to choose whether you would like a man or a woman driver. Not so fast — neither Uber nor Lyft offer you the choice to choose the sex of your driver.
Account sharing is prohibited, as outlined in Uber's Community Guidelines, and serious or repeated reports indicating another person may have used your account may result in loss of access to the app. We have zero tolerance for confirmed complaints of this nature.
They won't see your rider's trip route or any information about your riders. Ambar, Uber's product manager for the Share Trip Driver app feature. Where did the idea come from?
There are no rules against this. However, there is a specific clause of the Terms of Service that states that no sexual activities are allowed to take place during the ride. This includes 2 passengers participating in sexual acts, or the driver and the passenger participating in sexual acts.
Yes. The cost of the ride is divided equally among riders who accept the invitation to split.
If you only have carry-on bags, you can fit around 3 people in an UberX. If you have large pieces of luggage, only 2 people will fit in an UberX, and you should probably upgrade to an XL to ensure that all of your bags will fit.
So, as you can see, UberXL is more expensive than UberX. In fact, the price is about 30% more expensive. However, when you factor in the fact that it's up to six riders per UberXL, you can significantly save some money by selecting one UberXL versus multiple UberX rides if you have a group of five or six people.
