Are you a potential Uber Partner or Driver, but can’t decide what Uber Service you want to sign up for?
We came up with this post, because we get questions from potential Uber Partners and Drivers via email relating to the different Uber Services and what they are. Since there are multiple Uber services available, it can be tricky to pick the right one for you. Read on to solve exactly this problem!
UberX
UberX is the least expensive of all of the Uber services available, making this a great choice for passengers that are trying to save money: This means two things for a potential Uber Driver or Entrepreneur:
- You will get lower fare rates compared to some of the other services like UberXL, Uber Black and UberSUV
- You will get more rider pickups since this is the most popular service for Uber
For those new to Uber, UberX is known as the entry level ‘ride sharing’ service for Uber. Riders are matched with independent drivers that drive their own vehicle. Keep in mind to be an UberX driver, you do not need to be a professionally licensed driver, and do not need to have a commercial license. (Note- UberX Livery is different from UberX: Uber X Livery is essentially UberX, but with the caveat that you need to be a professionally licensed commercial driver)
UberX drivers typically have cars like the Toyota Camry, Ford Escape, Ford Escort, etc. The main requirements on how to become an UberX driver are listed in this blog post here. As for the requirements for the UberX car, (in most cities) it must be a model from the year 2006 or newer, and it must have passed an independent inspection (see our blog post here for more information that will help in selecting the perfect UberX car: Uber Car Requirements: 580 UberX cars analyzed).

Uber Black
Uber black is often described as being a more luxurious version of UberX. Just like UberX, this Uber service takes a passenger from one place to the other. Uber Black is perhaps the most expensive service that Uber has in most cities; it is the luxury version of UberX. This means two things for a potential Uber Driver or Entrepreneur:
- You will get higher fare rates compared to some of the other services like UberX, and Uber XL
- You will get less rider pickups compared to UberX (since there is less demand for this, compared to UberX)
- You will also get longer fares (because for a lot of cities, Uber Black unlike UberX is allowed to pickup or drop off at the airport)
This particular Uber service is generally dominated by sleek, high-end sedans. In the Uber Black Car, there can be up to four passengers at a time, just like with UberX.
One of the major differences between the Uber Black and UberX is the general requirement (for most cities) that drivers on the Uber Black platform have commercial or livery licenses.
Uber Black cars are, of course, black. They absolutely need to be new models (2012 or newer) and they need to have a black exterior. For the interior, a black, grey or beige leather interior should do. Think of cars like a Mercedes, or a Cadillac.
For help selecting an Uber Black Car for your Uber Business, see our blog post here: Uber Car Requirements: 420 Uber Black cars analyzed).
Uber XL
Uber XL is yet another variety of Uber that you can sign up for. This particular Uber service is pretty similar to the UberX, except for the fact that the cars are usually larger and can seat up to six people rather than the standard four.
With UberXL, the vehicles approved for these services are generally a minivan or crossover in most cases. You should keep in mind that the fare you receive for this service will be higher than the regular UberX. This is a good option for passengers going somewhere with a few friends or family members.
All the requirements for the drivers are the same as they are for the UberX, except the larger vehicle ofcourse!
For help selecting an Uber XL Car for your Uber Business, see our blog post here: Uber Car Requirements: 115 Uber XL cars analyzed).
UberPlus
UberPlus is an Uber service that falls between Uber Black and Uber X. The quality of the car is usually higher than that of UberX, so you can expect to have a pretty good luxury car—however; it isn’t quite on the same level as the Uber Black.
Up to four people can be seated in these cars, and the fare you can expect to receive is usually less than that of Uber Black, but higher than that of Uber X.
That means that this is a good option for Uber Partners and drivers that have or want to acquire a slightly nicer car, but don’t want to have to pay Uber Black money for a car.
UberPool
UberPool is a particularly interesting Uber service because it allows Uber passengers carpool with a stranger that is headed in a similar direction. From a driver or entrepreneur’s perspective, you are using the same car you would use for UberX.
Some passengers might not love the idea of traveling with a stranger, but the advantage is that it allows them to save some money, seeing as how they split the fare with the other passenger.
Those are all of the major types of Uber services that Uber Partners and drivers need to know about. Now, you can make your choice based on your requirements regarding the type of car, the potential revenue and driver requirements. Choose wisely, and happy Uber-ing!

I am not understanding the difference between Uber and Uber partner. I just signed up for Uber partner but I don’t know if I signed up for the correct one. The other thing is I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and I don’t know if I have the right phone for the job And the other thing that I’m also wondering is if there is a problem is there a phone number that I can call if I have questions???
To answer your questions-
a)Uber is the company.
b)Uber Partners are either Uber drivers or People who own cars and employ Uber drivers who drive on the Uber Platform.
c)As long as “Samsung Galaxy Note 2” can access the google play store on Android you should be fine.
You only need to be able to download the Uber Partner (driver) app – (See – http://uberkit.net/blog/how-and-where-to-download-the-uber-driver-app/)
d) Uber generally (as a rule of thumb) doesn’t have phone support. You can check here (http://uberkit.net/blog/uber-customer-service) on how to contact Uber
Hope that helps.

Hi, pls I want to know how the Uber service works at the airport cos I’ve been there twice and I didn’t get any order. (I’m operating in Lagos)
Uber operates normally at the local & International airports in Lagos. The airports are hot spots for Uber drivers. However, due to the high demands by riders/ passengers, Uber drivers may occasionally be unavailable at certain times. If you keep trying an Uber driver may pop up in due time.
Kunle for Uberkit.net
Dear Uber
Based on my experience with your website and taking into account your blog….. you are very unprofessional and
never expected this kind of dislodged treatment from you as an ”international” brand.
Please do not respond by saying you are Uberkit because that’s i have been receiving and you are just a machine!
I wanted to promote your brand in my country as we have a high volume of tourist insisting on Uber but no one
from Uber is able to help me speak to the owner or MD of this company to resolve my problems.
Best regards,
Dominic

what is the difference between uber driver and uber partner
Hello Nick,
A lot of people get confuses by the terms.
Partner Driver
A private car owner with a Professional Driver’s License, and you plan to drive your own vehicle (be it under your name or not). There are some restrictions in terms of user capability. If have a Partner-Driver Account, you don’t have the capability to add a new driver and add a new vehicle.
Partner Operator
A private / commercial car owner with hired driver(s). You can also upload your driver documents to enroll yourself as a driver. You can add new drivers and add new vehicles.
Best Regards,

Is there a uber service that delivers packages or some way to utilize my toyota truck, which only seats one passenger
Hello Clayton,
You can’t use Toyota truck for uber delivery service, you need a sedan or hatchback vehicle to drive with uber.
Good Luck!

Hi there
I would like to bring Uber to Muskoka Ontario this year. The growing amount of people in Toronto, Ontario vacation in Muskoka and are in great need of this service here.
Potentially Uber boat is a great device they allows people to go from a friends place, to dinner, to a lakeside party and back to their cottage all with Uber’s services
It would also bring more jobs to the renown Deerhurst resort the top tourist destination in Muskoka.
Most millennials have or will purchase a cottage property and are renting in Toronto. The percentage of people they own a vehicle in Toronto is rare and to provide this service in Toronto’s most tourist destination would crest more jobs, and better the economy all will provide Ing top notch service here in Muskoka
I look forward to hearing from you soon
Thank you
Hello Nicola,
I just sent you on email on how to get uber to your city.
Good luck!
