Uber has opened registration for licensed taxi drivers in Saint Lucia, ahead of the ride-hailing app’s planned launch on the island.
In an announcement issued on December 16, the company said licensed taxi operators can now sign up through the Uber Driver app. The platform will operate exclusively under the Uber Taxi model, meaning only properly licensed taxi drivers will be permitted to complete trips.
“We are looking for licensed taxi drivers who want to increase their earnings through technology and reach a growing segment of tourists who already know and prefer the Uber app,” said Jorge Cordero, General Manager for Uber in Saint Lucia.
“The onboarding process is now active for our Uber Taxi option, which focuses on rides completed by licensed taxis.”
Uber said it is also engaging taxi associations and transportation companies across the island, encouraging them to express interest in joining the platform through a dedicated registration process.
“Our goal is to work collaboratively with licensed taxi operators and their organisations as we prepare for Uber Taxi on the island,” Cordero said.
According to the company, Uber Taxi allows operators to connect with both residents and visitors, particularly tourists who already rely on the Uber app when travelling. The model is already in use across several Caribbean territories, including Barbados, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
Drivers registering for the platform will be required to submit standard documentation, including a valid driver’s licence, taxi permit, insurance, banking details, a profile photograph and a background check.
Uber said its immediate focus is onboarding interested drivers and engaging with them. The company noted that once preparations are complete, it will formally announce the launch of the service in Saint Lucia.
