This summer, Uber launched Women’s Preferences in select cities, allowing riders to request a female driver. The feature has now expanded to 26 cities, including Nashville.
Here’s how it works.
Women riders have three ways to choose trips with women drivers:
- Request on-demand: When requesting a trip on demand, women riders will see an option called Women Drivers. If the wait time is longer than anticipated, they can always opt for another ride with a faster pickup.
- Reserve in advance: For more planning and certainty, women riders can use Reserve to pre-book trips with women drivers.
- Set a preference: Women riders can set a preference for a woman driver in their app settings. While it’s not guaranteed, turning on the Women Preference increases your chances of being matched with a woman driver.
