An Uber driver's guide to neoprene
Since the company's inception in 2009, Uber has fast grown into one of the world's most efficient forms of transport. Indeed, according to Uber Expansion, the ride-sharing service has resulted in safer transport at night as well as less fuel consumption, with UberPool saving just under 50,000 litres of fuel a month in San Francisco alone.
Neoprene seat covers can provide Uber drivers and their passengers with clean, stylish and comfortable upholstery.
With so many people in and out of these vehicles, it's no wonder that Uber drivers are concerned about the protection of their vehicles. While canvas and leather-look seat covers are ideal for minimising passenger damage to a car interior, they aren't your only options. Neoprene seat covers can provide Uber drivers and their passengers with clean, stylish and comfortable upholstery, all whilst maintaining and protecting your car's original interior.
What is neoprene?
Most of us will have used or at least touched neoprene at some point in our lives, as it is the same material that wet suits are made from. Neoprene is a rubber polymer that is formed through a chemical reaction that results in small chips, according to the Seventh Wave. These chips are then melted together, mixed with foaming agents and carbon, then baked in an oven. The end product is a large block that can be sliced into sheets of neoprene.
While this might seem like it might result in odd, uncomfortable material, neoprene is actually enormously practical and can be used for many things especially seat covers for your car.
Why is it so good for Uber drivers?
In terms of use, neoprene is unique in that it is water resistant whilst maintaining a spongy sense of comfort and firmness. This, of course, makes it ideal for Uber drivers who want to prioritise the enjoyment of the ride for their passengers, but still wish to protect their vehicle's interior from spilled drinks, vomit or even wet umbrellas and muddy boots.
Neoprene is also a fantastic way to convey your sense of personality through your car. A quick glance at Motoquipe's online range of neoprene seat covers shows that they will instantly add an element of sleek sportiness to any ride.
