If you want to make more money with Uber’s new service Uber Comfort, you’ll need to own a vehicle on the approved car list. Uber Comfort is all about providing the rider with a comfortable relaxing journey to their destination. Riders are offered more leg room, more head room, and they are able to request custom temperature settings.
For drivers this means stepping up your game a little to offer the rider the best possible trip they can have. If they want quiet, give them a quiet ride, if they want it super cool in the car in the dead of winter, they got it.
Check the car list below to see if your vehicle is approved to offer comfort service to riders across Canada and the USA.

The Uber Comfort Car List
It seems that the only difference between the UberX car lists and the Uber Comfort car list is that the smaller compact vehicles have been removed. This is right inline with the Uber Comfort philosophy of absolute rider comfort (leg room and all). We checked every available city and found that the car lists were all pretty well the same. To be absolutely sure your car is eligible, try signing up!
