Manage subsidised transportation and meal programmes with Vouchers

Vouchers enables universities to fully or partially cover the costs of rides and meals with Uber – offering a flexible solution to support a wide range of campus needs.

Customise your vouchers for rides and meals

Set subsidies and co-payments

Set a custom voucher amount, credit or discount to offer to students and staff – covering either the full cost or a portion of a ride or meal.

Choose geography and times of day

Define the exact areas where your voucher applies, and set specific times when your transportation and/or meal-delivery programme is available.

Limit overall usage

Customise each voucher by specifying the number of rides allowed or by setting limits on meal credits, ensuring programme control and budget alignment.

Pay per performance

Uber's pay-per-performance model makes sure your institution only pays for services actually used – whether it's rides taken or meals delivered.

Getting started is easy

Create your transportation or meal-delivery programme in minutes, whether for a handful of students or thousands.

Step 1: Create an account

Sign in or create an Uber account with your work email, and follow the instructions to sign your organisation up for Uber for Business. Verify your work email address when prompted.

Step 2: Add your payment method

Select the Vouchers programme, then set up the method you want to use for payment. You won't be charged until recipients redeem their vouchers.

Step 3: Choose parameters

Create a voucher and customise settings like value and eligible locations, dates and times. Find out more about restrictions.

Step 4: Distribute vouchers

Send vouchers by email, text, CSV upload or URL – all enabled from your dashboard.

Step 5: Redeem

Vouchers are added to recipients' personal Uber profile and automatically applied at checkout on eligible Uber rides or Uber Eats meal delivery orders.
