Wait time charges

Our driver-partners make every effort to arrive at your pickup location on time. As a rider, it’s a good practice to only request a ride when you’re near the pickup location and ready to meet the driver.

An efficient dispatch enables us to give you a more cost-efficient & reliable ride. Towards this effort, riders will be charged a nominal wait-time fee of QAR 0.35 / min when the pick-up time exceeds 2 minutes.

How it works

  •    Your driver-partner arrives at the pickup location – once there, a push notification is sent to you communicating his / her arrival
  •    The driver-partner will wait for up to 2 minutes after arriving at the location
  •    If the ride doesn’t start within 2 minutes, wait-time charges will start at QAR 0.35 / min of waiting
  •    Wait-time charges are applicable on UberGo, UberX, UberVIP and Uber XL.

Fare breakdown example on UberGo

Base fare QAR 2.50

Per Minute charge QAR 0.35
Per KM charge QAR 0.80

Pick your destination, request your ride and you’re all set to go!
