Uber partners with IPSE to announce illness and injury cover offer for drivers

As part of our ongoing efforts to make Uber better for drivers, we’re very excited to announce a partnership with the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE), giving drivers access to a range of benefits and protections.

Thanks to this partnership, drivers using the Uber app in the UK will now be able to get access to a range of benefits including illness and injury cover.

Uber is making a significant contribution towards the cost, with drivers who choose to join the scheme paying just £2 a week (the package is worth £8 a week). Uber is the first private hire operator in the UK to invest in an offer of this kind for drivers.

Summary benefits from joining the scheme include:

Today’s announcement follows the launch of a number of initiatives in February following feedback from thousands of drivers, including Earnings Advice Sessions, discounted access to savings products such as pensions and ISAs, and free skills courses.
