Are hatchback vehicles allowed for Uber?
Since two years ago, there has been rumors about hatchback vehicles and engine displacement requirement for TNVS. The rumors say that vehicles with less than 1.2L engine displacements or hatchbacks and sub-compact cars are NOT accepted in Uber or Grab. And until now, aspiring partners are confused about this issue. In fact, 80% of the emails we receive are questions about engine displacement requirement and vehicle model for Uber vehicle.

Hatchback Vehicles and Engine Displacement Requirements in Uber
Before we answer the question, it’s best that we are understand the regulations and the background of the issue.
1. LTFRB Memorandum for TNVS
First, let’s refresh on the LTFRB regulations issued last 2015 that lays out the implementing guidelines and terms for TNVS. Click on the links to download the memorandum.
- Memorandum Circular No. 2015-017: Implementing Guidelines on the Acceptance of Applications for a Certificate of Public Convenience to Operate a Transportation Network Vehicle Service
- Memorandum Circular No. 2015-018: Terms and Conditions of a Certificate of Public Convenience to Operate Network Vehicle Service
If you are to examine both memorandum, there’s no mention about engine displacement requirements nor about the accepted vehicle types. But there’s another directive that dictates the TNVS vehicle requirement, that is DOTC Department Order No. 2015-011.

2. DOTC Department Order No. 2015-011
DOTC Department Order No. 2015-011 is actually an amendment to DOTC Department Order No. 97-1097. They specified here the type of vehicle allowed for each type of public transportation (i.e. PUJ, PUVs, PUBs, taxis, vehicle for hire among others)
According to DOTC DO 2015-011, an accepted vehicle type for TNVS should meet the following criteria:
- accepted vehicle type are: Sedan, AUV, SUV, Van, SUV or other similar vehicles
- Vehicle must not be more than 3 years old from date of manufacture as reflected in ORCR
- Max age limit of the vehicle is 7 years from date of manufacture as reflected in ORCR
- Side note: Max age limit for taxi is 13 years
BOTTOMLINE:
There’s NO engine displacement requirement for a TNVS vehicle. But hatchbacks are NOT specified as an accepted vehicle type for TNVS vehicle.
3. Discussion during the first LTFRB TNVS Open Consultation
This issue was also clarified in the first LTFRB TNVS Open Consultation held last Jan. 5, 2017. LTFRB Chairman mentioned the allowable vehicle types according to DOTC Department Order 2015-011. The Chairman said, LTFRB’s mandate is to secure the welfare of the riding public and in accordance to that, hatchbacks are not as safe (because they are smaller) and not as convenient (they do not have enough legroom and compartment).
NOTE: If you’ve submitted your TNVS applications before and you have a hatchback vehicle, this can be a grounds for your TNVS application to be dismissed. We recommend you watch the discussion in the FB Live video embedded below at 0:43 and 1:42:30 to 1:44:50.
However, the board also said that the TNCs can appeal for reconsideration for hatchbacks as an accepted vehicle type for TNVS. LTFRB Chairman said taxis have stricter requirements in terms of engine displacement (min of 1200cc), legroom and compartment size and they need to level out the playing field. (If you want to know more about this memorandum for taxi, refer here: Memorandum Circular 2015-004).
Related: First LTFRB TNVS Open Consultation
Conclusion
For now, we think this issue has been settled— there’s NO engine displacement requirement but hatchbacks are NOT (yet) accepted for TNVS vehicle.
Personally, if you ask us, a 3 year old or newer hatchback is safer and more reliable than a 13 year old taxi. But we also understand from the standpoint of a rider with a lot of luggage. Ano ang masasabi nyo tungkol sa hindi pagtanggap ng hatchback as a TNVS vehicle? Do you think it’s less safe and less convenient than other types of vehicles? Let’s start the discussion in the comments below.
We hope Uber and Grab call for reconsideration of hatchbacks. And hopefully, LTFRB considers hatchback as safe and reliable vehicles for TNVS for the sake of the existing partners who have been providing excellent transport service from the very beginning.
For Aspiring Partners, we don’t recommend that you buy a hatchback vehicle or a vehicle with engine displacement less than 1200cc for the sole purpose of putting it in Uber up until the legislation and regulations are final.

Hi Uber,
What do you suggest we do for partners with hatchback type that have already submitted the requirements?
Should we continue to take trips or wait for any considerations or appeals that Uber will do?
About whether or not Uber is accepting hatchback vehicles, we believe, as of the moment, YES. If you go to Uber’s Activation Centers and Uber HQ, they will tell you that they accept; you will also see hatchback model on their website.
However, we are here to present you the facts about this issue so that you will be well informed as an Uber Partner. Best to refer to this article: http://ubermanilatips.com/facts-hatchback-vehicles-engine-displacement-requirement-tnvs/

4. Until now, there’s no final word yet from LTFRB about their decision.

According to DOTC Department Order, accepted TNVS vehicle types are sedan, AUV and SUV. There’s NO engine displacement requirement for TNVS vehicles; however, hatchbacks are currently not accepted.
I was activated here in CEBU despite this memo. Sana po ay ma solve na to. sayang naman ma deactivate kaming naka hatchback.
I don’t understand that they call hatchbacks small while the Hyundai Eon are way more smaller.
I think LTFRB should reconsider this, hatchback are not small they are way bigger than other sedan cars.

Hi. In connection with the above. I have been told by another uber operator that ford eco sport has been removed from the list of accredited types of vehicles? Is this true? He said was supposed to get an eco sport but was told it not allowed anymore. He instead bought a sedan just 3 months ago ( MAY 2017). Can you please confirm and enlighten me on this. I am planning to buy an eco sport and plans to enroll it to UBER.
Thank you

But is a Ford Eco Sport considered a hatchback? It is under a crossover category right? Because when we say hatchback, wigo and the smaller ones comes in mind.

If safety is the main issue for not considering hatchback in the TNVS, what about old taxi unit plying the metropolis? What about jeepneys that is in the road of metro manila since time in memorial? I hope that TNCs should make a very good argument and persuade ltfrb to include new hatchback units…praying
safety is not an issue when riding a hatchback. awhat are the basis of safety standards? NCAP safety standards. Picanto scored 5 stars Wigo, Mirage scored 4 stars. ano ba pinagsasabi na safety issue? tally numbers please how many vehicular accidents reported involving HBs? now compare that with the numbers involving trucks, buses, SUVs, jeepneys, and vans? lahat yan malalaki but if u run the numbers, u willbe surprised that the ratio will be 4:1 4 counts for big cars vs 1 count for small cars. reliability? no question there. convenience? get inside 1 HB, u will be surprised that it is not that different from sedans. ung wigo nga mas maluwang pa mirage g4 and honda civic SIR. please support us hatchback drivers/partners/peers.

My PA was approved last year and I will submit my CPC requirements. January 2016 ako nagapply with Uber, my car is ford fiesta hatchback 1.5, so ibig sabihin nito hindi na ako pwede magapply dahil dun s memorandum?
Unfortunately, Ford Fiesta hatchback is NOT accepted by LTFRB. According to DOTC Department Order, accepted TNVS vehicle types are sedan, AUV and SUV. There’s NO engine displacement requirement for TNVS vehicles; however, hatchbacks are currently not accepted.
So why UBER still accepted my application last January 2016 if DOTC already order last 2015 not to accept hatchback type of cars. You should already advise all applicants about this. UBER should have been clear about this. It only means I cannot no longer apply for my CPC even I’ve already been granted a PA because they will only reject my application. It will be only a waste of time and money.

There’s NO engine displacement requirement for TNVS vehicles; however, hatchbacks are currently not accepted.
Hi.. would like to ask if mirage hatchback 2016 is accepted ?? thanks 🙂
As per LTFRB, hatchback cars is not accepted in Uber Manila.
We got our 2016 Mirage GLX 1.2 MT (Hatchback) in 12/2016 and started paying monthly for car loan.
UBER should appeal for reconsideration of HATCHBACK as an accepted vehicle type
especially those who are paying monthly for car loan and use it as source of income.
So ang mitsubishi mirage hatchback, di na po tinatangap sa uber.
Yes po, all the hatchback cars is not accepted in Uber. In the meantime, here’s a full list of the vehicle requirements and accepted cars for Uber Manila, you can also get a car quote in this link:

Hi,
We applied for UBER Partner in 12/2016 here in the Philippines registered our 2016 Mirage GLX 1.2 MT.
I’m seeking help from UBER Philippines to appeal for reconsideration of HATCHBACK as an accepted vehicle type especially those who are paying monthly for car loan and use it as source of income like me.
Always thankful,
Jacky
There are hatchback design for European/Australian market like the Yaris, Swift and Ford fiesta, LTFRB should consider checking this as this is not the same with picanto, wigo and eon in terms of cabin size.
While wigo and the link most probably for asian people but those mention above has the comform of full size sedan except for the boot which is a bit smaller than the sedan.
Thanks Sam for bringing this up, this is also my concern because I’m planning to take Suzuki Swift and make it as a sideline cause I got work. Are they considering Swift as hatch?Thanks.

About whether or not Uber is accepting hatchback vehicles, we believe, as of the moment, YES. If you go to Uber’s Activation Centers and Uber HQ, they will tell you that they accept; you will also see hatchback model on their website.
However, we are here to present you the facts about this issue so that you will be well informed as an Uber Partner. Best to refer to this article: http://ubermanilatips.com/facts-hatchback-vehicles-engine-displacement-requirement-tnvs/
Some facts:
1. Last January 2017 during the first TNVS Open Consultation, LTFRB gave a statement that hatchback vehicles are NOT allowed in TNVS category (Uber and Grab). Refer to this link: http://ubermanilatips.com/ltfrb-tnvs-first-open-consultation/
2. The LTFRB Chairman was recorded on video saying so. Watch the discussion here: (forward to 0:43 and 1:42:30 to 1:44:50) http://ubermanilatips.com/facts-hatchback-vehicles-engine-displacement-requirement-tnvs/
3. However, LTFRB also said that they will reconsider the TNVS guidelines.
4. Until now, there’s no final word yet from LTFRB about their decision.
Having said these, IT’S REALLY UP TO YOU if you will RISK to get a hatchback vehicle for Uber. If you want to be on the safe side, you can also choose another type of vehicle just in case LTFRB would not reconsider.
But rest assured that we’ll keep you updated about the verdict of LTFRB as soon as they make an official announcement. As of now, this is all we know. Hope this helps.

Yes, according to DOTC Department Order, accepted TNVS vehicle types are sedan, AUV and SUV. There’s NO engine displacement requirement for TNVS vehicles; however, hatchbacks are currently not accepted.
Uber could have been better if from the very start they would denied hatchbacks. Kase if they would accept and activate the account with hatchback vehicle then they would do the requirements and everything. All the effort and of course payment for spa would cost you 300-600. Hugot coming from my friend’s effort whos newly activated for uber driving celerio.

Hi admin,
Hyundai accent HB 1.6L engine, is it accepted?
Here’s a full list of the vehicle requirements and accepted cars for Uber Manila, you can also get a car quote in this link:
http://ubermanilatips.com/list-of-accepted-cars-for-uber-manila/
If the reason for not including the HB for acceptable car for UBER is just for reconsideration for the passengers luggage space, maybe UBER should have a selection if the passenger have a many luggage or not in the app itself.
Hi Edward, you’re right. Actually now they have UberXL for riders to specifically request vehicles with bigger space.
