The idea for Uber was born when its creators tried to order a taxi several times one night in December, but were unsuccessful. It was that night that they came up with the idea of creating a platform that connects passengers and drivers.

Uber was launched internationally in 2011 and only in Brazil in 2014. The first cities to use the Uber platform were Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. Today, more than 500 Brazilian cities use the platform.

Being an Uber driver is like owning your own business, as it allows you to set your own hours and have autonomy. In addition, it can also generate a good income each month.

To be an Uber partner driver, you must be over 21 years old, have a valid driver's license with the note “Engages in Remunerated Activity” and cannot have a criminal record.
