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, UberVAN and Uber Black) in Johannesburg, South Africa, we put together an unofficial master list containing 90 Uber approved vehicles in Johannesburg,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 Johannesburg, South Africa note the key difference(s) between UberX, UberVAN and Uber Black:
UberX in Cape Town (Key Requirements):
Uber Black in Cape Town (Key Requirements):
Uber VAN in Cape Town (Key Requirements):

Hi I recently registered to add a car on the Uber platform. I haven’t received any confirmation via email or any way. I tried checking via the Uber waiting list but I got a response saying “the form does not accept responses anymore”. Can you please confirm if this is an error or there’s another channel to use to make sure I’m on the waiting list. Thanks
Per your question, I think your best bet is to go into your local Uber office and make your issue known.
