Register for Discounted (or Free!) Uber Rides for the Spring Semester
Welcome back to campus, Wildcats! Have you signed up for Wildcab Vouchers yet? Wildcab Vouchers is a program that provides students with free or discounted Uber rides throughout Fayette County.
Wildcab Vouchers is provided by UK Transportation Services, in collaboration with the UK Student Government Association (SGA) and Uber. This late-night on-demand student transportation partnership 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 this program, 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 each semester, but students can sign up for the program at any time during the semester.
“Wildcab Vouchers continues to grow in popularity, and we’re thrilled to offer this service again during the spring semester,” said James Hutchins, associate director, UK Transportation Services. “During the 2024 fall semester, students took a whopping 10,060 trips using Wildcab Vouchers. We hope to exceed that number this year.”
Wildcab Vouchers leverages Uber’s vast network of drivers to ensure reliable transportation is available to students when it’s need it the most. For details about the program and to sign up for this free student benefit, visit this page.
