How your time counts
Your time on the road has value. Understanding how your earnings work can help you know what to expect throughout a trip.
From wait-time and no-show fees to upfront fares and longer trips, here’s a closer look at what can factor into your earnings and where you can see those details.
Your time matters
From pickup to dropoff, your time matters. See how wait time, trip changes, and extra time on the road can be reflected in your earnings.
Get paid while you wait & when a trip is cancelled
Your time still counts when you’re waiting. Learn when wait-time and no-show fees may apply.
Wait-time fees
Waiting for your passenger? Wait-time fees kick in after 2 minutes on UberX rides and after 5–15 minutes on Premium and Reserve rides.
Stop fees
If a trip has multiple stops, stop fees kick in after 1 minute at each additional stop.
No-show fees
If a rider cancels after you’ve already started driving toward pickup, you can still earn a no-show fee for the trip.
When a trip changes & when a trip runs long
Plans can change along the way. See how your fare can account for changes to a trip or extra time spent getting to dropoff.
Upfront fare
Before you accept a trip, you’ll see an estimated fare based on the trip’s details. If a rider adds a stop or changes their destination, your fare will update to account for the change.
Delayed Ride Guarantee
If your trip is delayed by 5+ minutes from pickup to drop-off, Delayed Ride Guarantee automatically increases your fare. You’ll be notified of any difference, with the details clearly shown on your receipt.
Other: tolls & cleaning fees
From qualifying tolls to unexpected messes, see how these additional costs are handled and when fees may apply.
Tolls
Qualifying tolls are charged to the rider, not deducted from your earnings.
Cleaning fees
If a rider leaves a mess that requires more than standard cleaning, you can request a cleaning fee within 3 days.
