Uber is set to launch its rideshare service in Geraldton, and the company is actively seeking local residents to become driver partners. The move brings flexible earning opportunities and an additional transport option to the regional city.
Driver Recruitment Underway
Uber has put out a call for Geraldton locals interested in working on their own schedule to register as driver partners. The onboarding process can take three to four weeks, so early registration is encouraged. Daniel Lopez, Head of driver operations at Uber Australia and New Zealand, said: “We’re excited to be preparing to bring Uber to Geraldton and to offer locals the opportunity to earn flexibly by driving on the platform. We encourage anyone who’s interested to sign up as soon as possible, as the onboarding process can take at least three to four weeks.”
Benefits for Geraldton
The arrival of Uber provides a new way for residents and tourists to get around town, while offering flexible work hours and an additional income stream for locals. Uber launched in Australia in 2012 and has since welcomed over 200,000 driver partners and delivery people who earn through the platform nationally.
Safety Features
The Uber app prioritizes safety for both drivers and passengers with features including GPS tracking for every journey, the ability to share trip details with trusted contacts, and 24/7 in-app support. More details for prospective drivers can be found at uber.com/drive. The exact launch date for Uber in Geraldton has not yet been announced.
