Uber requires their drivers to be at least 21 years of age, drive a car manufactured in the year 2000 or later, and pass a background check (Driver Jobs 2015). The drivers then receive a unique smartphone application that allows them to collect fares, receive payment, and provide directions for transporting their passengers. Uber has recently extended automobile insurance to drivers while they are working, with increased coverage while they have a customer (Driver Jobs 2015).
