Uber Expands Women Preferences Feature Nationwide

Uber has expanded its Women Preferences feature, which helps pair women riders and drivers, nationwide. This feature, previously available in several cities and many countries around the globe, including Saudi Arabia since 2019, is now accessible to all users across the country.

How it Works

The Women Preferences feature is easy to use. When requesting a trip, women riders will see an option for Women Drivers. This option is also available when making a reservation in advance. Additionally, users can set a preference for a woman driver in the settings app, although this does not guarantee a woman driver and depends on the availability of drivers in the area.

Meanwhile, women drivers can also request trips with women riders via the settings. This feature works in a similar way for drivers, providing them with more control over their trips.

Enhancing Safety

Uber’s expansion of the Women Preferences feature is part of its efforts to make rides safer for women. However, Uber is not the only rideshare company working towards this goal. For example, Lyft has also been expanding its own version of this feature, which it recently took nationwide.

Additionally, the feature is designed to provide women riders with an added layer of comfort and security during their trips. Therefore, it is a significant step forward in enhancing the overall riding experience for women.

Finally, the expansion of the Women Preferences feature is a testament to Uber’s commitment to providing a safe and comfortable experience for all its users. As the company continues to innovate and improve its services, users can expect to see more features like this in the future.
