Tue, 10 Mar 2026 Uber rolls out women-only option in the US

The feature allows both women riders and drivers to be matched with other women for trips on the ride-sharing app.

* Uber has launched a feature allowing female drivers and passengers in the US to request trips with other women.
* The feature was piloted last year and resulted in women feeling more comfortable and confident when using the app.
* One-fifth of Uber's drivers in the US are women, although this ratio varies by city.
* Women can reserve a trip with a woman driver in advance or set their preference to increase the likelihood of being matched with one.
* Two California Uber drivers have accused the company of violating state legislation by potentially giving female drivers access to a wider pool of passengers.
* Uber has filed a motion to stop litigation and move the case to private arbitration, citing an agreement the drivers signed when joining the app.
* The new feature is already available in over 40 countries for drivers and in seven countries for riders.
