Be sure to let them know the size and breed of the animal youre travelling with. Our Uber service animal policy states that service animals are always allowed to travel with their companions.

Since you cannot call a rideshare vehicle ahead of time like you can with taxis, we recommend ordering your Uber or Lyft from your rideshare app as usual and then immediately calling your driver to inform them that you have a dog with you.

Both Uber and Lyft let the decision to allow dogs in their cars rest with the drivers. This means that some drivers may decline you while others would be happy to oblige to your dog-friendly ride request.

Passengers are responsible for any cleaning fees or wear-and-tear that might occur when traveling with Uber.

Drivers can accept or reject the mode in their preferences, giving passengers additional peace of mind in knowing that their pet is welcome in the car.

Uber does allow dogs generally in Uber rides, unless your individual driver says no. The company as a whole has no pet bans, and leaves discretion up to the driver. Service dogs and other certified assistance animals are always allowed in Ubers.
