“Nobody teaches us this, but somehow there are unwritten rules about where to sit in an Uber. Do you sit in the front to chat, or chill in the back like royalty? What’s the etiquette here?”

• The awkward moment deciding where to sit

• Sitting in the front — friendly or weird?

• Back seat — comfort or arrogance?

• How it changes when you’re alone vs. with friends

• Are the rules different in SA vs. overseas?

There are no universal rules dictating whether passengers must sit in the front or back seat of an Uber, and the practice varies significantly between South Africa and other countries, primarily depending on driver preference, passenger choice, and local customs. In South Africa, Uber has implemented advisory passenger and luggage restrictions to manage comfort, space, and safety, particularly when luggage is involved, but these guidelines do not specify seating position. The decision on where to sit is generally left to the passenger and driver, with no official policy mandating a specific seat.

• “Front seat or back seat — what’s YOUR rule when it comes to Ubers?”
