New changes for a better pickup experience
Uber Editor

We know your time is valuable and so, we’ve now introduced two new features to improve your pickup experience and save everyone a little bit of time and frustration.


Valuing drivers’ time

Sometimes your driver arrives before you’re ready. When that happens, you don’t have to rush, but a small per-minute wait fee will now be charged after 5 minutes. This small change makes a big difference for drivers.

How this works:

  1. Once your driver arrives at the pickup location,  you will receive a push notification communicating the arrival
  2. Your driver will wait for up to 5 minutes after arriving at the location
  3. If the ride doesn’t start within 5 minutes, wait-time charges will kick in
  4. Wait-time charges are not applicable on uberPOOL and UberHIRE
  5. Wait-time charges are applicable only for rides in Mumbai:
Product Wait Time Charge
 uberGO  ₹1.5/min
 uberX  ₹1.5/min
 uberXL  ₹2/min
 UberBLACK  ₹2/min

Improved cancellation fee

We’ve also reduced your cancellation fee across products in Mumbai. The fees applicable below are:

Product Cancellation fee
 uberGO  ₹45
 uberX  ₹75
 uberXL  ₹100
 UberBLACK  ₹100
