"On its website, Uber advises riders to check the licence plate, driver photo, and driver name to make sure they match what’s listed in the app before entering a vehicle.

“Never get in a car with a driver who claims to be with Uber and offers a ride,” the company says.

It also advises passengers to share their trip details with a friend by using the “share status” feature in the app. The feature provides a friend or family member with the driver’s name, photo, licence plate and location. It also allows them to track your trip and see your estimated time of arrival."
