Uber Partner Driver Registration Guide

Six months ago, I decided to buy my own car. I got a nice little car from myself and I named it Ringo. I remember the marketing officer telling me to sign up Ringo to Uber so I can earn additional income. Well because I love my car so much and because it is my first car, I decided not to sign-up for Uber. I know a lot of people that are earning money through Uber and they are getting quite a huge amount of money. To those who would like to sign-up please check the step-by-step instruction below.

Step 1: Create Partner Profile

Go to https://partners.uber.com/drive/  and  choose the city you want to drive in (i.e. “Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines”).

Select your Vehicle Type and Uber Partner Type:

Vehicle Types: UberX or UberBlack. Check this post describing the difference.

If you need a list of accepted vehicles for Uber Manila, refer here.

Partner Account Types: If you will drive your own registered car, select Partner-Driver. If you are a car owner with hired driver/s, select Partner-Operator. Refer to this post to know the difference.

You’ll be taken to this page. Fill in the required fields.

Step 2: Register your Banking Details

In your dashboard, click on the “Banking” menu and you will be taken to another page (https://vault.uber.com)

Important Notes:

·         Make sure the name you register is the exact name of the bank account you’re trying to enroll

·         the Uber partner (account holder) and the name on the registered bank account does NOT need to be the same

·         For Bank SWIFT/BIN Code, refer to this link.

Step 3: Enroll a Driver

You’ll need the following details about your driver/s: Driver Name, Cellphone Number, Email Address, Username and Password (you’ll create these) . You can add several drivers including yourself, if you know the limit on the number of vehicles you can enroll, please share with us in the comments.

Requirements:

1.    Professional Driver’s License  + OR

2.    NBI Clearance

3.    PNP Clearance (for LTFRB Compliance)

If you have an existing Partner account and want to add a driver, Refer here.

Step 4: Enroll a Vehicle

In the dashboard, you need to add a vehicle and indicate these details about your vehicle: model, make, year, color of interior and exterior. Then, upload the required  documents as follows:

1.    Proof of Vehicle Registration: LTO Registration/ ORCR/ Sales Invoice

2.    Proof of Insurance: Comprehensive or TPL

3.     Four (4) Pictures of your vehicle: Front External View (License/CS visible), Rear External View (License/CS visible), Inside View Dashboard Console and Inside View Backseat

Important Notes:

·         Make sure the documents are valid and not expired, expiration date is correct and documents are clearly seen

·         Model of the vehicle has to be NOT older than 3 years from year of application (as per LTFRB Regulation).  If you’ll register in 2015, car cannot be older than 2012.

·         You can add multiple vehicles in your Uber Partner account, if you know the limit on the number of vehicles you can enroll, let us know in the comments below.

·         The name on the Proof of Registration and Proof of Insurance has to be the SAME

·         The name of the Uber Partner (account holder) and the name on the Proof of Registration and Insurance does NOT need to be the same

·         Uber will deduct a Passenger Accident Insurance on your first pay out. This is Php 165 per passenger per year. This depends on the passenger capacity of your vehicle. Sample computation 5 seats (4 passenger + 1 driver) x Php 165 = Php 825 per year.

·         If you have an account and want to add a vehicle,refer to this post to know how.

IMPORTANT: If you are NOT the car owner of the vehicle you registered with Uber, you MUST read this article about getting TNVS and LTFRB Accreditation if vehicle is not under your name.
