How to Check Uber Availability in a Specific Region

Uber allows you to order rides from partner drivers right on your phone, tablet or computer. To check if service is available in your current area (or where you're going), use the city checker tool on the Uber website. You can also download the Uber app and set up an account. The application will automatically notify you whether the service is available or not. Even if the service is not available in your current location, the app will still start working when you move to a place where Uber has service.

Tap the booking options to check the availability of each Uber service. Each service is represented by a button in the bottom row of the app (uberX, uberXL, Select, Access or Taxi). The pin icon will show the estimated time for the nearest vehicle to reach you, indicating that the service is available. If there is no service, the pin will show 'No Cars Available'.

uberX is Uber's standard service, uberXL is for larger cars, Select is for luxury vehicles, and Access is for people with disabilities.

You can drag the pin around to change the pick-up point, and the estimated time will also be adjusted accordingly.

Nearby vehicles will appear on the map, and their locations will be updated every few seconds.
