Getting your car ready

A little prep goes a long way. Here is what experienced UWAYS drivers keep in the car, plus a couple of habits that keep clients happy.

What to keep in the car

A short list, but it makes a real difference on busy days.

1. A phone mount you can actually see while driving

Keeping your phone mounted and visible means you can follow directions without picking it up at a red light.

2. A car charger

Long shifts and constant navigation drain a battery fast. Keep a charger in the car so you are never caught at 10 percent.

3. A clean, presentable vehicle, inside and out

First impressions matter for private transfers and airport pickups, so give the car a once-over before every shift.

Tips

A couple more tips from drivers on our network.

🧽

Spotless every shift

A tidy interior is one of the fastest ways to earn a good rating. Vacuum, wipe the seats, and clear out clutter before you go online.

🕒

Mind the clock

Especially for airport pickups, get there a few minutes early. Flight times shift, and clients notice when you are already waiting.
