Are you at the point where you want to buy a car for Uber, but can’t seem to get the list of approved Uber vehicles? In response to numerous requests for the List of Uber cars (UberX and Uber Black) in Cape Town, South Africa, we put together an unofficial master list containing 152 Uber approved vehicles in Cape Town,South Africa.
The list below contains the following – Uber Approved Service, Make, and Model of the Vehicle. For some of the data we marked it as N/A – meaning we could not find it, or it does not exist! Assume all cars listed in the table below, as at the time of this posting to be at most 4 years old (in order to be approved for Uber use)- I.e. For any car on this list to be approved, they need to be a 2012 model or newer.
Note – if a car is approved for Uber Black, it is generally automatically approved to make UberX pickups (if the driver desires). For Uber Cape Town, South Africa note the key difference(s) between UberX and Uber Black at the blog posts below.
