There might be some of you who are wondering how to be an Uber Driver or Partner in Manila.

First, we recommend that you go to one of their Info Sessions to know the details firsthand. We’ve posted about their Info Sessions and it’s schedule here.

If you need assistance, email us your question at the end of this post.

Here’s how you become an Uber Partner:


Step 1: Create Partner Profile

Go to https://partners.uber.com/drive/  and  choose the city you want to drive in (i.e. “Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines”).

Select your Vehicle Type and Uber Partner Type:

  • Vehicle Types: UberX or UberBlack. Check this post describing the difference.
  • Partner Types: If you will drive your own registered car, select Partner-Driver. If you are a car owner with hired driver/s, select Partner-Operator.

You’ll be taken to this page. Fill in the required fields. During registration, you can use our Uber Partner Invite Code: qpkmy.

 


Step 2: Register your Banking Details

In your dashboard, click on the “Banking” menu and you will be taken to another page (https://vault.uber.com)

Important Notes:

  • Make sure the name you register is the exact name of the bank account you’re trying to enroll
  • the Uber partner (account holder) and the name on the registered bank account does NOT need to be the same
  • For Bank SWIFT/BIN Code, refer to this link.

**UPDATE: If you’d like to know the best bank and account type to enroll for Uber Banking, refer to this post.**


Step 3: Enroll a Driver

You’ll need the following details about your driver/s: Driver Name, Cellphone Number, Email Address, Username and Password (you’ll create these) . You can add several drivers including yourself, if you know the limit on the number of vehicles you can enroll, please share with us in the comments.

Requirements:

  1. Professional Driver’s License  + OR
  2. NBI Clearance

Step 4: Enroll a Vehicle

In the dashboard, you need to add a vehicle and indicate these details about your vehicle: model, make, year, color of interior and exterior. Then, upload the required  documents as follows:

  1. Proof of Vehicle Registration: LTO Registration/ ORCR/ Sales Invoice
  2. Proof of Insurance: Comprehensive or TPL
  3.  Four (4) Pictures of your vehicle: Front External View (License/CS visible), Rear External View (License/CS visible), Inside View Dashboard Console and Inside View Backseat

Important Notes:

  • Make sure the documents are valid and not expired, expiration date is correct and documents are clearly seen
  • Model of the vehicle has to be 2007 and up
  • You can add multiple vehicles in your Uber Partner account, if you know the limit on the number of vehicles you can enroll, let us know in the comments below.
  • The name on the Proof of Registration and Proof of Insurance has to be the SAME
  • The name of the Uber Partner (account holder) and the name on the Proof of Registration and Insurance does NOT need to be the same
  • Uber will deduct a Passenger Accident Insurance on your first pay out. This is Php 165 per passenger per year. This depends on the passenger capacity of your vehicle. Sample computation 5 seats (4 passenger + 1 driver) x Php 165 = Php 825 per year.

Once you have an active driver and vehicle assigned to your account, you will eligible to claim a device. Devices can be shared by drivers and vehicles; drivers would simply need to login to their individual driver accounts and choose the appropriate vehicle upon login. Please note that the number of devices issued to you is based on the number of active drivers and active vehicles registered to your account, WHICHEVER IS LOWER.

As of May 18, 2015, Uber implemented a new Device Options–Rent to Own and Bring Your Own Device. Refer to this guide to compare the different device options.
