Uber Pool

Share the ride. Share the savings.

Uber Pool is Australia’s most affordable Uber ride. You save on Uber Pool because we match you with other riders heading in a similar direction.

How Uber Pool works

1. Request

Open the Uber app and enter your destination in the "Where to?" box. Tap the Uber Pool ride option at the bottom of your screen. Then tap Confirm Uber Pool. Only one seat is available for request.

You’ll see the time until your driver arrives, as well as the estimated window of time to arrive at your destination. Even with additional pickups, riders typically arrive around 5-10 minutes later than an UberX.

2. Ride

You no longer need to walk to your pickup stop when requesting an Uber Pool.

Save up to 20% off the equivalent UberX fare. The app will try to match your car with other riders heading your way.

3. Hop out

Simply exit the car when you reach your destination. We’ll automatically charge the price to the payment method you have on file. If your trip was 5 stars, consider tipping your driver in the app after your trip.

Use of Uber Pool is subject to these terms, which are in addition to other terms you’ve agreed to with Uber. Any savings will be applied to the upfront fare and you don’t need to be matched with a co-rider to receive them.

The upfront price will be the price a rider pays unless the trip changes significantly due to traffic, route, tolls or other reasons outside of Uber’s control.

Matching with a co-rider depends on the time of day, traffic, the number of ride requests, and the number of drivers available in a given area. Riders who use Uber Pool can get a minimum saving of 5%, and may get more depending on the time and distance travelled.

Savings may vary by city. See the app for details.
