We know that consistent and dependable earnings are important to you.
In a step toward creating a more reliable earnings experience, we’re updating our time and distance rates to make earnings more reflective of the time you put in, no matter where a trip takes you.
You can expect that your overall trip earnings will stay the same as a result of the update.
What’s changing?
We’re increasing the per-minute rate and decreasing the per-mile rate for UberX and UberXL. Whether it’s a 2-mile trip or a 20-mile trip, your time will be valued.
