Uber Vehicle Requirements South Africa: What You Need to Know
Starting an e-hailing business can be exciting, but understanding the Uber vehicle requirements South Africa drivers must meet is the first step. From car model years to safety features, these standards ensure both drivers and passengers are protected.
At East Point Rentals, we make meeting these requirements easier, offering vehicles tailored for Uber, UberX, UberBlack, and even UberEats.
Core Requirements for Uber Vehicles
To operate on Uber in South Africa, your car must comply with the following rules:
🚗 Four doors and space for at least four passengers.
🌬️ Windows and air-conditioning must function properly for comfort.
📅 Model year 2015 or newer (some areas may allow slightly older).
🛡️ Safety features such as ABS and airbags are mandatory.
🚫 No commercial branding or markings are permitted.
✔️ Ownership flexibility – you don’t have to own the vehicle if you have the owner’s permission.
These standards help ensure every trip meets Uber’s safety and quality promise.
