UberEVENTS FAQ's
What is the cost of using UberEVENTS?
When you purchase rides for your event, a 25% authorization hold will be placed on your card to verify the payment method. This hold will be immediately voided.

In addition, there is a 2.5% administrative fee (on the full promotional value of ride passes) at the time of purchase, except for markets where the product is currently in beta (Brazil, New Zealand, Mexico). Both the service fee and the authorization hold are calculated off the total projected value of your event.

What if a ride costs more than my ride pass covers?
If the total cost of a guest ride exceeds the value of the ride pass issued by the event organizer, guests will pay for any outstanding charges with their default payment option. Guests can update payment method before or during their request. As the event creator, you’ll never pay for anything in excess of what you’ve set as the max amount per ride.

How do I share event ride passes with my guests?
You’ll receive an email with a unique link or promo codes that can be easily shared with your guests. Guests can claim their ride pass in two ways: a ‘Claim My Ride’ link or by entering the promo code in their Uber app.

Planning a large event?
If you’re planning on hosting a large event and need to purchase more than R100,000 worth of ride passes, or if you are planning an event that will run for longer than 7 days, please email business.south.africa@uber.com. We’d be happy to help you set up your large event.
