Uber registration
We guide you through verification: documents, licence, taxi stamp, Uber account.
Start driving
After activation, choose available driving hours. Check payout timing and the form of cooperation in your agreement.
Your own car or a rental - check both routes
Uber allows drivers in Poland to join a licensed fleet partner with their own car or a rented one. Tell us your city and car situation; confirm the documents, costs and agreement before committing.
Drive your own car
Already have a car? Check whether its model qualifies in your city and which taxi documents are still needed.
- Verify the model and category on Uber's city-specific list
- Confirm the partner's licence covers your operating area
- Check the taxi stamp, vehicle extract and insurance
- Review fees, settlement and payout terms in writing
- Complete Uber's document and identity verification
Ask about a rental car
Need a car? Check availability for your city and compare the total rental cost with the own-car route. Read our guide to driving without owning a car before accepting an offer.
- Confirm the car and Uber category available in your city
- Check taxi documents for the specific vehicle
- Ask about rent, deposit, mileage limits and insurance excess
- Review service, repairs and notice terms in the agreement
- Complete platform verification before your first trip

How to estimate your earnings
Trip revenue is only the starting point. Your result depends on vehicle costs, fees and the terms of your agreement.
See our earnings guide and ask for the current settlement terms.
Everything you need to know about driving with Uber
How to become an Uber driver in Poland?
Working as an Uber driver today means meeting a few formal requirements set by Polish transport law (the so-called Uber Lex act). The taxi operator and vehicle need the right documentation. When you join a licensed fleet partner, you may work under its licence rather than applying for one in your own name; confirm the arrangement for your city and car. Departner, as a Uber fleet partner, walks drivers through the full process - step by step, with support for the paperwork. A detailed walk-through is in our complete Uber registration guide.
Requirements for Uber drivers in Poland
- Age and category B driving licence meeting the current Polish requirements
- Clean criminal record certificate
- Medical certificate and psychotechnical tests
- Taxi licence covering the transport operator or fleet partner
- Taxi stamp in the vehicle registration
- Vehicle extract from the fleet partner licence
- A car on Uber's current list of eligible models for your city
- Valid insurance and vehicle inspection
These are Polish requirements. Uber also describes identity checks and rules for the driving licence used in Poland. If your licence or right to work was issued abroad, confirm your individual eligibility before paying for a car or documents. Requirements may change. Check Uber's current guidance for Poland before applying.
How much does an Uber driver earn?
Revenue depends on the city, trip volume and hours worked. Deduct fees, fuel, maintenance, insurance and any vehicle rental before judging whether the work pays off. See how to calculate revenue and costs.
Driving with your own car through Departner
Departner is a fleet partner working with Uber. Before registering, check whether your city and car are covered, what documents the partner handles, whether your form of cooperation requires a business registration, and how payouts are calculated. Ask for written agreement terms and a sample payout statement before deciding. More in Uber driver taxes and social contributions.
Uber Driver app - how it works?

Uber vs Bolt - which to choose?
Fees, requirements and trip availability differ by platform and city. If you plan to use both apps, check the documents and settlement terms for each one. Read more in Uber vs Bolt vs FreeNow.
Common questions about driving with Uber
Do I need my own business to drive with Uber?
You can work through a fleet partner without registering your own business. Tax and social contribution rules depend on your agreement; ask for an explanation before you start.
How much does an Uber driver earn in Poland?
There is no guaranteed amount. Your result depends on trips, hours and vehicle costs. See how to estimate revenue and costs.
What are the requirements for Uber drivers in Poland?
Check Uber’s current Polish rules for your age, category B licence, identity documents, criminal record, medical certificate and psychological tests. A taxi licence is required, as well as the taxi stamp in the vehicle registration and vehicle extract. Departner helps you gather all documents and obtain permits.
Can I drive passengers with Uber using a foreign driving licence?
Uber currently requires a Polish driving licence confirming category B for at least one year for passenger trips in Poland. A foreign licence may be valid for ordinary driving, but that does not establish eligibility for Uber taxi trips. If you hold a foreign licence, check the official exchange procedure and Uber's current onboarding rules before paying for a vehicle or taxi documents.
Does a residence card automatically allow me to work as a driver?
No single answer applies to every residence status and agreement. Whether you may work in Poland depends on your citizenship, the basis of your stay and the work you plan to do. The Polish Office for Foreigners explains how a residence card relates to work rights. Confirm your individual status before starting; the Uber document check and the right to work are separate steps.
What should I prepare before asking for a callback?
The form asks for your name, phone number and city. During the call, explain whether you have a Polish driving licence, what documents confirm your right to work, and whether you have a suitable car or need to ask about rental. This helps the team identify which requirements and agreement terms you still need to check.
How is Uber different from Bolt?
Each platform sets its own document and vehicle requirements. Uber lists a taxi stamp, vehicle extract, insurance and inspection among its requirements. Check the current rules and insurance cover for both platforms.
What car can I use for Uber?
Your car must meet the requirements for its category and appear on Uber's eligible model list for your city. Use our guide to checking a car for Uber in Poland, then confirm the current vehicle requirements before buying or renting.
What is the commission and when do I get paid?
Check current platform fees and payout dates in Uber's terms and your fleet partner agreement. Ask for an example trip settlement before you start.
What is Uber Pro?
Uber describes any currently available Uber Pro benefits in the Driver app. Check your own account for eligibility and terms; do not treat a reward or bonus as guaranteed income when comparing the cost of driving.
Can I drive with Uber and Bolt at the same time?
You may use both apps if you meet each platform's requirements and agreement terms. When you accept a trip, manage your availability in the other app.
How much does Departner charge for registration help?
Ask Departner for the current registration, settlement and any additional costs. Request written terms before signing an agreement.
