I was bummed can't drive in my home city I was visiting

I can drive anywhere in FL. While on hurricane evac last year, I saw that I could have driven in Ashville, NC.

That’s funny because when I drove for Uber I was all over Georgia I wasn’t confined to one major city. I think you mean States not cities and then that also depends because Uber will turn your app on if for example if I’m close to the South Carolina Edge from Georgia they will turn my app on if I left Georgia to drop somebody off. And they will you have to sign out and call them and let them know and they will turn your app on to get back to the state you belong to. But it’s got to be a neighboring state

Yes they refer to it as region, but I have not tried to turn on Uber in another TN city. I just know I couldn’t in MN

Well we can’t just drive in any state for example if you’re from Georgia you cannot drive in New Orleans they have their own set of rules plus a lot of these regions want you to have a driver’s license and that particular area. Because they have different rules in different states

Uber states that while applying with all documentation uploaded for another state they will deactivate you in original state, then when you come back you have to reapply. That’s what they told me at the hub. Now Lyft told me the same thing but apparentlythat is not true with lyft

Im in inland empire ca. I drove for.UBER LYFT AND BOUNCE. UBER I CAN ONLY DRIVE IN CALI. LYFT I CAN DRIVE IN ARIZONA AND LASVEGAS.I KNOW THIS CAUSE I HAVE. BOUNCE IS ONLY SAN DIEGO

I’m in the Lehigh valley area …Allentown PA …I can drive in PA , NJ , AND Delaware …and once I’m TLC licenced NEW YORK :money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face:

I am pretty sure you can Drive in all available Cities for Uber and Lyft in Texas. Not sure about other states due to State regulations.

With Uber, I can drive in multiple cities AND multiple states… I don’t know why your passing bad information…

giving in accurate information. You already admitted you have to re-apply. We are told that you can only change territories when you move to a different area. I know this because I asked Lyft & argued for hours about it. I live in St Paul Minnesota & am within 20 minutes of boarder communities in Wisconsin that offer many fun outdoor music festivals etc. I can drop pax off there but not pick up. Entirely different insurance & permit regulations. It’s not worth the hassle if you get in a wreck.

My app works just fine in the other states…

Every active driver is assigned a region… That simply means I’m a Toledo driver… This DOES NOT prevent me from operating UBER in different cities/states

if you are talking about insurance I highly suggest you talk to your insurance person. People are very misinformed about what/when Uber covers. You need ride share insurance. License is dependant on the city & state.

I was told at the Nashville Uber hub. And when I was in MN, IL, IN and I turned on Uber it would not go online and said this vehicle is not authorized to drive in those regions. So apparently I am not passing on bad info and the rules are not the same for all states or regions!

I live in sacramento and that’s my region. But I never drive there I drive in sf only

I live in California. I did receive requests and drive Uber and Lyft when visiting other cities 200 miles away from home within California. I know those out of region trips not counted towards weekly bonus.

I live in St Paul Minnesota & I can give rides to boarder cities in Wisconsin; but we cannot pick up there per Lyft. It’s not worth the insurance head ache if you get in a wreck.

Hmmmm really? I’m in Florida and can drive anywhere in the state. The same is true in most states (not all). You might want to check your information before posting something so stupid and incorrect.

During the CMA Fest in Nashville it was rumored that Uber brought in an additional 300 drivers not sure if is true or not.

My experience was the same as yours at the hub. However when I turned my app on in Atlanta, it seemed to function as normal even though I drive in Ohio. Hmmmm

I drive in Lexington and Cincinnati… but when I went I went back to my hometown in Texas to help parents with flooded house from Harvey it was nice to be able to still drive…
