How Uber estimates taxi prices
Many factors go into calculating your estimated taxi fare. In most cities, your price is determined up front before you confirm your ride, so you know what to expect. In some markets, a metered pricing option is available. In this case, you’ll get an estimated price range before the booking confirmation in the app. The final cost will be the total amount displayed on the meter.
Here are some factors that can affect the estimated price of your taxi ride with Uber:
Time and distance
This is the estimated trip duration and distance from pickup to dropoff.
Changes to the route
If you change your destination or add extra stops, your price might change also.
Busy times and areas
Fares may increase when rider demand is higher than driver availability.
Frequently asked questions
- How is my Uber Taxi fare calculated?
Your estimated taxi price is based on trip time and distance from origin to destination and includes applicable extra costs such as tolls, taxes, surcharges, and fees. The estimate does not include wait-time fees. Note that wait-time fees may not apply in all markets.
- Is the fare I get in the estimate tool the final taxi ride cost?
The final price you pay may vary due to multiple factors, which may include heavy traffic, weather conditions, changes made to the route, and wait-time fees (if applicable).
- When do I get charged for my taxi ride?
After reaching your destination and exiting the vehicle, the final price is automatically charged to your selected payment method.

The price of the trip may be adjusted if the trip is significantly longer than expected, in particular if the actual pickup and/or dropoff locations are different from those indicated when the ride was requested, in the event of a change of route, or if the trip has taken much longer than originally anticipated. In this case, the price is calculated according to the time and distance of the new trip and updated once the trip is completed.
