Certain requirements and features vary by country, region, and city.
Guarantee offer terms (Applies only in locations where guarantee offers are available): This is a promotional offer and is not a promise or guarantee of future earnings. This offer is available only to new drivers on the Uber app who (i) have never previously signed up to drive or deliver with Uber; (ii) receive this offer directly from Uber and see it in the guarantee tracker of the Uber Driver app; (iii) are cleared to drive with Uber; and (iv) complete the number of trips displayed in the guarantee tracker in the city where they signed up to drive within 90 days of signing up. Offer terms such as number of trips and reward amount may vary by location. The guarantee offer that you see in the app replaces any guarantee amounts Uber previously offered you.
Earnings from your fares and surge (after service fees and certain charges are deducted, such as city or local government charges) are included toward your guarantee offer amount; any tips and/ or other incentives you make are on top of that amount. If you complete the required number of trips within 90 days of signup and you earn less than the guarantee offer amount, then you’ll receive the difference.
For example, if your guarantee offer amount is $1,000 and you earn $800 in fares, an additional $100 in tips, and an additional $50 in promotions (for a total of $950), you would receive an additional $200 because your fares didn’t meet the guarantee offer amount.
Any offer payment due will be added to your account after you complete the required trips. Each completed pickup and dropoff on UberPool will count as one trip toward your minimum trip requirement. Each required trip must be with a unique rider. Canceled trips do not count. This offer is valid only for those who meet the eligibility requirements associated with this offer. Uber reserves the right to withhold or deduct offer payments that it determines or believes were in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the driver terms or these terms. Limited-time offer. Offer and terms are subject to change.
¹Uber is not responsible for the products or services offered by other companies, or for the terms and conditions (including financial terms) under which those products and services are offered.
