BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 20: In this photo illustration the photographer holds up a smartphone showing the Uber app and nearby Uber taxis as regular taxis stand behind at Tegel Airport on November 20, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. Uber, the American taxi service, is making a second attempt at establishing itself on the German market. When Uber first attempted to launch its service in Germany several years ago it quickly ran afoul of German authorities, leading to a ban on Uber's classic freelancing car-taxi service accept for the cities of Berlin and Munich. Now Uber is trying again, this time seeking to stay within German laws and to gain the confidence of German lawmakers. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Uber Rolls Out “Check Your Ride” Feature

Uber wants to make sure that you are getting into the right car.

A new “check your ride” feature will send a push notification to your phone. It will include the driver’s name and photo, car license plate, make and model.

The feature will debut in Columbia, South Carolina. A University of South Carolina student was killed after she mistakenly got into a car she thought was her Uber ride.

“Check Your Ride” will be available nationwide soon.
