Do you think you know how uber and lift? Make sure you are aware of these security advice
This prevents you from standing outside unnecessarily with a phone in your hand and signals to passers-by that you are waiting for someone to pick you up. Instead, wait until the driver is near or has arrived before you leave.
Confirm details when the car arrives
Don't just look at what time the driver comes. Be aware of the car's brand, model and color, as well as the driver's name and image.
Be sure to match the license plate on the screen to the one you see in real life.
Map your own route during the trip
This is especially important if you are in another city and are not familiar with the route. By monitoring your own GPS navigation, you will see if the driver leads you astray.
Don't share private information with your driver
This includes your personal phone number. The Uber app automatically encrypts both the driver's number and the passenger's digit to protect both sides privacy.
You should never share credit card information with the driver. All Lift and Uber rates are paid through the app and tips can also be added there.
Ride in the back seat
If you are the only passenger in the car, riding the back seat gives both passenger and driver more personal space. It also ensures that you can get out on both sides to avoid traffic.
Tell a friend where you are and who you are with
With both Lift and Uber you can quickly and easily share who your driver is, where you are and when to get there.
