Get Free or Discounted Uber Rides!
Have you signed up for Wildcab Vouchers? This program provides students with free or discounted Uber rides throughout Fayette County. The program’s hours and days of service have been expanded this year, providing Wildcats with even more travel options.
Wildcab Vouchers is provided by UK Transportation Services, in collaboration with the UK Student Government Association (SGA). This late-night on-demand student transportation partnership with Uber underscores Transportation Services’ and SGA’s long-standing commitment to promoting responsible late-night transportation decisions.
Wildcab Vouchers provides eligible students with up to ten $10 ride vouchers per semester. The vouchers are valid on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. within Fayette County.
Students are responsible for any amount over the initial $10 when redeeming a ride voucher; however, many rides within the service area are $10 or less, in which case rides will be essentially free to the student.
Students also have the option to redeem a voucher on a ride or save it for a future trip. Please note that tips are extra and are the financial responsibility of the student. Additional voucher terms and conditions may apply upon redemption.
To sign up for Wildcab Vouchers, complete the Wildcab Vouchers Enrollment Form located here. This information will be transferred to Uber, and students will receive a welcome email with a link to add the voucher to their Uber account wallet for use during program service hours. Vouchers expire at the end of the fall semester, but students will be able to sign up for the program again next spring.
“Wildcab Vouchers was a new undertaking for us last year,” said Lance Broeking, Director of UK Transportation Services. “It proved to be so popular that we expanded the program’s service hours and days to provide even more value to our students. Wildcab Vouchers leverages Uber’s vast network of drivers to ensure reliable transportation is available to students when it’s needed most.”
