How to ride with UberX Share
1. Request
Open the Uber app and enter your destination in the “Where to?” box. Once you confirm that your pickup and destination addresses are correct, select Share (you might need to scroll down). Then tap Confirm Share.
After a short wait in our UberX Share Waiting Room and once you’ve been matched with a driver, you’ll see their picture and vehicle details and can track their arrival on the map, just like any other Uber option.
2. Ride
The app will try to match your car with other riders heading your way. Check that the vehicle details match what you see in the app before getting in.
3. Hop out
You’ll be automatically charged through your payment method on file, so you can exit the car as soon as you arrive. If your trip was 5 stars, consider saying thanks and tipping your driver in the app after your trip.
Frequently asked questions
- How many seats can I request on UberX Share?
You can only request one seat on UberX Share. If you're riding with a friend or a group of friends, please request UberX or UberXL.
- What happened to the price range and extra discounts when a co-rider joins?
UberX Share prices are now all upfront, to provide you more certainty and eliminate the guesswork from price ranges. Upfront prices are straightforward and exact. Instead of an estimated range, you’ll see the exact amount you’ll pay before you request a trip. You’ll still enjoy excellent savings by choosing UberX Share, and co-riders will continue to be a key part of the Share experience!
This is the price you'll pay unless the journey changes significantly. We use various factors to determine your price, including expected travel time, traffic patterns, distance, and surge pricing. Plus, our advanced modeling predicts your likelihood of being matched with a co-rider, allowing us to offer you even better savings. The final fare includes base rates, surge pricing, and any expected tolls and fees.
- How many co-riders will I be matched with?
At any given point during your trip, you may be sharing the trip with up to two other co-riders. If a co-rider is dropped off before you, it’s possible the app will search for another co-rider, but it’s designed to only look for people going your way.
- How long will it take to pick up other riders?
UberX Share is designed to add no more than 8 minutes to your trip (note: because of traffic and other possible delays, we cannot guarantee arrival times). You’ll always see your estimated arrival time in the app as you ride.
- I was picked up first. Why was I dropped off second?
Pickup and dropoff order is determined by where your destination falls along the route, rather than the order of who was picked up first.
- What if a co-rider take us out of the way?
The app matches you with riders going your way to help make sure any additional pickups won’t increase your estimated arrival time.
- Is there room for my luggage?
It depends on the space in the car and the number of riders. If you’re traveling with luggage, we recommend requesting an UberX ride instead of an UberX Share ride.

Use of UberX Share are subject to these terms, which supplement other terms you have agreed to with Uber.
*Any savings will be applied in upfront fare and does not require you to be matched with a co-rider. The upfront price will be the price a rider pays unless the trip changes significantly due to traffic, route, tolls or other reasons outside of Uber’s control. Matching with a co-rider is dependent on time of day, traffic, the number of ride requests, and the number of drivers available in a given area. Riders who use UberX Share can receive minimum savings of 5%, and may receive more based on the time and distance traveled. Savings may vary by city. See the app for details.
