With summer in full swing and the Christmas and New Year's period only recently over, there'll be a host of people spending their last few nights of holiday out and about the town.
Unfortunately, nights spent partying can often result in messy car rides home – particularly if you're an Uber driver. Seat covers, especially durable ones made of canvas, can be immeasurably useful when it comes to keeping your interior free from passenger chaos.

Uber and night rides
According to Uber Expansion, the middle of the night is one of the most popular times for Uber rides. This statistic is especially interesting, as this time is also when the rate of alcohol-related incidents rises, suggesting that many Uber users are trying to find a way home after a night of drinking.
While Uber is an infinitely safer option for drunk partygoers trying to get home, it's not necessarily as safe for your car's interior. Despite often being a welcome addition to a fun night, excessive alcohol doesn't always sit well with the human body.
As the Healthy Drinker explains, there is a whole area of the brain dedicated to recognising damaging substances in the stomach. The brain then makes the person throw up, in an effort to rid themselves of the toxins. As Uber drivers will well know, when a passenger is at this stage there's no guarantee that a car's interior won't suffer.
Canvas seat covers
The most functional and convenient way for Uber drivers to protect their interiors from vomit, as well as spilt drinks and general clumsiness, is to invest in a well-fitting seat cover. In particular, canvas covers are brilliant for this.
Canvas covers are traditionally used to protect the seats of working class vehicles. They're extremely durable so they'll easily survive the hustle and bustle of the many passengers in your car, as well as protect your ride's original interior. Most significantly, canvas seat covers are waterproof, meaning they'll endure spills and the less delightful aspects of late-night Uber driving.
