Uber Taxi now accepts cash payment

Uber has always been taking strides to optimise rider experience, so we are now introducing a more comprehensive selection of payment options.

From 14 March 2023 onwards, when you request an Uber Taxi ride, in addition to the existing electronic payment options, you can also opt for settling your Uber Taxi trip fare with cash¹ by paying the taxi driver-partner directly at the end of your trip. You can now ride with Uber Taxi at ease using the new cash payment option, which allows greater flexibility even if your credit cards or other electronic payment methods are not available.

Follow the steps below to select cash as the payment option:

1. Before booking a trip, go to Account > Wallet > Add Payment Method, then select Cash and add it to your list of payment methods.

2. Before confirming an Uber Taxi trip, select Cash in payment options.² Please note that a selected payment method cannot be changed once the trip starts.

3. When the trip ends, the actual fare payable³ to the taxi driver-partner will be displayed on a green screen in the taxi driver-partner’s Uber App. If you have chosen to use any promo codes, Uber Vouchers, or Uber Cash to pay for all or part of your fare when booking your trip, the fare displayed on the green screen will be the actual amount payable by you after applying the applicable offers or deductions. Please pay the amount displayed on the green screen in cash directly to the taxi driver-partner.
