Safety behind the steering wheel 🚗 

Uber is dedicated to keeping people safe on the road. Our technology enables us to focus on driver safety before, during, and after every trip.

Are you a VMDTR (“motorcycle taxi”) driver or do you want to become one?

Request a trip earnings review

Before accepting a request for a trip, the application systematically indicates the minimum guaranteed price of the journey, net of charges. This price is calculated by estimating the duration and distance of the journey, and incorporating the dynamic pricing in effect at the time of booking.

Traffic conditions and other factors may have an impact on the initially quoted price. The price of the trip may be adjusted if the trip is significantly longer than initially advertised, for example if the actual pick-up or drop-off location is different from the one indicated at the time of the request, if there is a change of route or if the trip has taken much longer than expected. In this case, the price is calculated according to the time and distance of the new trip and updated once the trip is completed.

Please note, we will only provide an adjustment if these conditions apply, in most cases this adjustment will happen automatically. For more information vist the link below.

You must have the following documents to register in the VTC register:

A certificate of insurance covering professional civil liability

A copy (front and back) of the VTC professional card for each driver

For each vehicle: a rental contract of more than 6 months, or proof of ownership, or proof of financial capacity of €1,500 granted by your bank or an organization approved by the ACPR.

Once your documents have been validated by the VTC register manager, you will be invited to pay the registration fee (€170).

For independent drivers only

Once your registration in the registry has been validated and paid, you must order VTC stickers for each of your vehicles. You can request VTC stickers from your personal space on the VTC registry website, in the "order stickers" tab.
