Job Description
An alternative to traditional driving jobs in Kolkata.

If you’re looking for driver jobs in Kolkata, give Uber a try instead. Get paid to drive when you want, on the platform with the largest network of active riders.

Driving with Uber in Kolkata offers a flexible earning opportunity. It’s a great alternative to full-time driver jobs, part-time driver jobs, or other part-time gigs, temp jobs, or seasonal employment. Or maybe you’re already a rideshare driver and want to supplement your income by becoming a driver using the Uber platform. Drivers using Uber come from all backgrounds and industries, setting their own schedule to make life work for them.

Uber offers driver job alternatives in all major cities in India, including Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai—plus other cities of all sizes across the country.

Uber’s mission is to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: How do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 15 billion trips later, we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.

Drivers using Uber are independent contractors who work on their own schedule with flexible hours. You must meet certain requirements to drive with Uber depending on where you will drive. Uber is available in more than 15,000 cities worldwide. Signing up is easy for most people. We welcome drivers from other parts of the driving industry, such as bus, truck, taxi, limo, catering, and commercial drivers. We also welcome rideshare drivers and drivers who have been active on other driving apps and services. Driving with Uber is a good way to earn additional money. It’s easy to get started.
