Dealing with pets in your car.

For example, I do not mind pets in my car, and I do have a blanket for them.

If it is not a service animal, you do not have to accept the ride, you can cancel it. Just explain to the rider the reason, to why you do not want a pet in your car.

What to do if animal makes a mess in your car?
Take your phone and make a picture of it, before you clean it.
Contact Uber and show them your picture.
What happens next?
Uber will determine the cost , charge the rider’s credit card and pay you for cleaning your car.

If someone walks to your car with a snake or other pets, you do not have to accept the pet. Service animals are usually dogs, so if you see something other than a dog, talk to the rider and explain why you are not letting them into your car, cancel and drive away.
