Who runs the world? Girls!
Beloved e-hailing service Uber is always introducing game-changer initiatives to make your rides smoother.
From the family-friendly Uber Teens that has allowed parents to rest easy to allowing you to pre-book a car with a Saudi Arabia Railways train ticket, the American multinational has upped the ante.
Now, the car service has launched a women drivers feature in the Kingdom. What’s more, this feature is only available to female riders, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
So, ladies pull up your Uber app, here is everything to know about the latest feature.
Uber women drivers initiative 2025
To mark seven years since women in Saudi Arabia were given the green light to drive, Uber is putting the pedal to the metal with its new Women Drivers feature. This option lets female riders choose to ride exclusively with female drivers, offering more comfort, privacy, and peace of mind. It’s all about more choice, more empowerment, and a modern twist on getting around town. So if you’re a woman looking for a smoother, all-women ride experience, Uber’s got you covered.

women drivers initiative: What to expect
Uber’s not just driving progress, it’s building a sisterhood on wheels. The company is rolling out its first-ever GigSister program in Saudi Arabia, creating a safe, supportive space where women drivers can connect, swap stories, and grow together. Plus, through a powerful partnership with Alnahda Society and the Masaruky initiative, Uber’s helping even more women hit the road by offering support to learn driving and get licensed. It’s all part of a bigger mission to empower women and fuel their success, on and off the road.
