If you’re a rideshare driver in Queensland, having an up-to-date Uber Certificate of Inspection (COI) is not just a formality — it’s a legal requirement. Whether you’re onboarding as a new driver or renewing your compliance documents, Roadworthy Gold Coast offers fast, mobile Uber COI inspections across the Gold Coast.
We understand the hustle that comes with driving for Uber — long hours, unpredictable schedules, and a strong need for convenience. That’s why our team is focused on offering a mobile, stress-free service tailored specifically for Uber drivers. Let us help you stay road-ready and compliant with minimum downtime.
What is an Uber COI?
The Uber COI — or Certificate of Inspection — is a government-recognised safety certificate that proves your vehicle meets Queensland’s strict roadworthiness standards. Without it, you simply can’t drive legally for Uber or any other rideshare service.
This certificate is not a one-off requirement. Here’s when you need to provide or renew your Uber COI:
- When onboarding as a new Uber driver
- Annually thereafter for ongoing compliance
- After major vehicle repairs, accidents, or defect notices
The inspection ensures your vehicle is structurally sound, safe for passengers, and in excellent mechanical condition. Uber relies on this certification to maintain high standards for riders — and so should you.

What’s Included in an Uber COI Inspection?
Uber inspections are more than just a quick once-over. Here’s what we thoroughly check during a typical COI appointment:
- Tyres & Tread Depth – No cracks, bulges, or uneven wear
- Brakes & Brake Lights – Efficient stopping power and working signals
- Steering & Suspension – No free play, clunks, or worn-out components
- Headlights & Indicators – Must be functional, correctly aligned.
- Windscreen & Wipers – Clear visibility, no cracks or smearing
- Mirrors & Visibility Aids – Properly adjusted and damage-free
- Interior Safety Features – Seatbelts, horn, dashboard warning lights
- Rust & Chassis Condition – No major corrosion or structural damage
- Leaks or Fluid Levels – Engine, coolant, power steering and more
If your vehicle passes, your certificate is issued right away. If not, we’ll provide a report, recommend next steps, and organise a convenient reinspection after you’ve resolved the issues.
Mobile Uber COI Inspections Across the Gold Coast
Our mobile service is what sets us apart. We know Gold Coast traffic and terrain, and we know how inconvenient it can be to drive across town just for a 30-minute inspection.
That’s why we offer inspections at:
- Your home address
- Your workplace
- Public carparks, petrol stations, or rest stops
- Anywhere you’re parked safely.
We serve all major Gold Coast suburbs, including Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads, Robina, Varsity Lakes, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Helensvale, Southport, and more.
What If My Vehicle Doesn’t Pass the Inspection?
It’s not the end of the world — in fact, most issues are minor and easily fixable.
If something needs attention, we’ll explain:
- What is the fault?
- Why doesn’t it meet Uber or QLD safety standards
- What needs to be repaired or replaced
- How to book a reinspection after the fix
You’ll have 14 days to correct any defects and get reinspected. This gives you time to visit your mechanic or fix it yourself if it’s something minor.
Our goal is to help you pass and get you back on the road safely.
When Do You Need to Renew Your Uber COI?
Uber requires a valid Certificate of Inspection every 12 months for every vehicle used on its platform in Queensland.
Uber’s app typically sends a reminder before expiry, but it’s your responsibility to stay ahead of the curve. Driving with an expired COI can result in:
- Account suspension
- Missed earning opportunities
- Stressful delays in getting back online
We recommend booking your renewal inspection at least 2 weeks before your COI expires — giving you buffer time in case of unexpected issues.
Tips to Pass Your Uber COI First Time
Want to make the inspection process smoother? Here are some practical tips from our team:
- Wash your car – Appearance matters and can impact perception.
- Check your tyres – Look for wear, bulges, and ensure adequate tread.
- Test all lights – Including indicators, reverse lights, and hazards.
- Top up fluids – Oil, washer fluid, coolant, brake fluid.
- Clean the interior – Rubbish-free, working seatbelts, no warning lights.
- Be upfront – Tell us about any minor issues ahead of time
A little prep goes a long way to passing the inspection on your first try.
We Also Inspect for Other Rideshare Platforms
While this article focuses on Uber, we also offer COI inspections for:
- DiDi
- Ola
- Shebah
- Bolt
- Uber Eats (in some cases)
You don’t need a separate inspection for each provider. One valid COI from an authorised inspector typically satisfies all of them — though you should always check each platform’s individual requirements.
