Can Uber drivers see your phone number?

Both Uber and Lyft use technology that keeps your personal details safe. Even if you need to call your driver before they arrive, your number is hidden. Drivers can take your call, but they can't see your actual phone number. And if you're on your way home, it's best not to let the driver know that.
