Dear User,
Recently, we have seen media coverage involving a police officer stopping Uber partner-drivers and removing riders, in some cases leaving them with no option but to walk home in the dark. This is unjustified and irresponsible. Uber has submitted a formal complaint to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
These events have been based on the NZTA's narrow interpretation of legislation created at a time when technology like Uber's didn't exist. Vested interests have also been spreading misinformation designed to scare riders and bully drivers to protect a small group of large and powerful taxi incumbents.
Uber partners in New Zealand are licensed, safe and provide a legal service in the best interests of riders and drivers. You can read more about the processes behind our operationshere. We are proud to be creating new economic opportunities for licensed and responsible drivers, and bringing much needed competition to New Zealand.
IT'S TIME TO TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHY YOU WANT TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE HOW YOU GET AROUND YOUR CITY.

Don't let a few loud voices in the taxi industry bully their way into preventing you from choosing Uber. Whether taxi or Uber is your preference, you have the right to choose.
Craig Foss is the Minister responsible for these outdated regulations and he needs to hear the same feedback we do everyday. Things like..
"My Uber is 40% cheaper than a taxi, and cleaner, safer and more reliable."
"I don't pay a credit card surcharge with Uber."
"Ubers are more reliable and pick me up faster."
"I can rate the driver."
"I feel safer in an Uber."
....What Uber experience will you share?
Thank you for your continued support. We're working hard with our partner-drivers to ensure Uber is the safest and most reliable ride in town.
Uber on,
The team at Uber NZ
