From today, we are making a change to the way you are paid for the additional services you provide on Access and Assist trips. You will continue to receive an additional 15% on Access and Assist trips, but you will notice a couple of changes.
What is changing?
- Your upfront price on the trip offer card (what you see when you receive a trip request) for Access and Assist trips will no longer include the additional 15% earnings. You will see prices that match UberX for these journeys going forward.
- At the end of each week, we will review all of the Access and Assist trips you completed and make a payment into your Uber balance to top up your earnings by 15%.
- This payment will be made every Monday after 12PM, and you’ll be able to see the amount in your Weekly Earnings Statement for the relevant week under the name, ‘Trip earnings misc’. This amount will then be transferred to your bank account on your next withdrawal – either using the Instant Cashout feature, or through your next weekly payment cycle.
Why are we making this change?
We need to make an adjustment to our payment processing in order to ensure we can uphold our pricing commitment to both drivers and riders under a dynamic pricing model.
You can continue to accept Access and Assist trips as normal, and you will be able to see how much you made from these trips in your Weekly Earnings Statement from next week.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via the ‘Help’ section in your app.
