How to become an XL driver
If your car seats six or more passengers, you’re eligible to become an XL driver and make more money.
XL rides have a higher rate, which varies by region. You can check your city’s rate card in your Dashboard under the 'Account' tab in the app.

Becoming an XL driver
You can start giving XL rides by opting-in in the app. You’ll only receive regular ride requests if there aren't any XL requests in your area.
You can opt-in to receive XL rides two different ways. You can either:
- Open the main menu, then tap 'Vehicles and Devices.'
- Tap 'Your Vehicles.'
- Tap 'See details' on your active vehicle.
- Select the ride types you want.
Or, you can:
- Tap ‘Go online.’
- Tap the filter icon in the bottom right corner.
- Tap ‘Driving preferences,’ then tap ‘Ride types.’
- View which ride types you can receive.
You’ll only receive requests for ride types that are available in your region. See what ride types are available here.
If the current car on your profile can’t seat five or more people, follow these steps to add or switch vehicles.
Ride safety
You should never drive a group of passengers whose group exceeds the number of seat belts in your vehicle.
Here’s how to cancel a ride with too many passengers:
