A boost to earnings: making every trip worthwhile

Whether it be in the Uber Advisory Forums or through driver-partner surveys, we’ve received consistent feedback regarding  shorter trips on the platform. That’s why we are adjusting recommended fares to make sure every trip is worthwhile.

This means you can earn more on some trips, especially those on the shorter end of the spectrum. For more specifics please check the Uber Driver App.

Listening to your feedback

“Short trips are not worth the drive. Need to change the remuneration for short trips.”

->Driver through Satisfaction Survey

Driver-partner feedback on fares was critical to these changes. We are continuing to listen to your feedback to develop sustainable solutions that help make the Uber platform a positive experience for everyone. Be on the lookout for more information on how to provide feedback for this year’s Advisory Forums.

How will base fare change throughout the day?

Base fare will have different pricing depending on the occasion of the day. See below to know which fare applies. 

How did you determine the new fares?

We’ve heard from many of you that fares needed to be higher (specially on shorter trips) to reflect how the driving experience has changed. These new rates and occasions were set to ensure that every trip is worthwhile.

What happens to the temporary fuel surcharge?

The temporary fuel surcharge will remain in place until further notice.
