On any journey using Uber, it helps to know you're getting into the right car.
Pin verification adds an extra step to make sure your ride is your ride.
Before the trip begins, your app gives you a unique pin.
Just tell it to your driver and they'll enter it in their app before the ride can start.

Make sure your ride is your ride with pin verification from Uber.
