The proper etiquette (that nobody follows) is for the rider to identify themselves first, by saying “Uber for PaxName?” Followed by the driver saying “yes, I am DriverName.” The passenger has all the driver's info on the app: the car type, the license plate, a picture of the driver, and a driver name.
Does Uber verify age?
If you notice at pickup that your rider looks younger than 18 and the ride request did not have the “UberX • Teen” label, you may ask them to show you a valid driver's license or ID card for confirmation.
Do you have to use real name on Uber?
How do I change the name on my Uber account?
To update your name, email, phone number, or password for your Uber rider account:
- Open the app menu and tap “Settings.”
- Tap the bar that displays your name, phone number, and email.
- Tap the detail you want to change and enter the updated information.
- Make your updates and click “Save.”
Can I choose the gender of my Uber?
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.
