Uber is rolling out a much-anticipated new feature called ‘Women Preferences’ nationwide across the United States, giving women riders and drivers more control over their ride-sharing experience. This move, which began expanding on March 19, 2026, aims to address long-standing feedback from women regarding comfort and safety.
For many of us, ordering a ride is a simple tap of a button, but for a lot of women, there’s an extra layer of thought about safety and peace of mind when hopping into a stranger’s car. According to Fox News, Uber’s Women Preferences feature lets women riders specifically request women drivers, and it also allows women drivers to prioritize trip requests from other women. It’s a pretty smart way to give both sides of the equation more choice and flexibility.
