A guide to how earnings work
On this page, you can read about different opportunities for making money by delivering using the Uber Eats app. They can help you feel confident when using the app and hitting the road.*
A breakdown of how you earn
Base fare
Includes your pay for estimated time and distance to complete a trip and takes into account multiple pickups and/or dropoffs. The fare amount also factors in areas and periods of time with limited availability of couriers and higher-than-usual demand for delivery.
Promotions
Availability of promotions may vary.
Tips
100% of tips you earn belong to you and are always an addition to your earnings.
Promotions can help you find busy areas and times
Promotions can help you identify busy areas when there’s a high demand for delivery. High demand usually means there are more opportunities for delivery requests. And if you’d like, you can take advantage of multiple promotions at once. You can always check the map and Promotions section in the app for the latest offers.
Quest goals
What you earn:
An extra cash reward on top of base fares and other offers
How you earn:
Complete the Quest goal within a certain time period.
How to check for Quest:
Tap the promotions section of Trip Planner in the app for Quest goals. New goals may appear daily.
Choose Your Quest
How it’s different from Quest:
Unlike Quest (see above), Pick Your Quest is divided into weekday and weekend goals, which you get to pick for yourself. You can pick a weekday Quest by Sunday and weekend Quest by Thursday. If you don’t pick a Quest, we’ll pick one for you so you still have a chance to earn more.
