Let’s talk about where Uber fares go each week
Like the millions of Uber rides every week, fares go to more than one place, too. We think everyone should know where fares go and why. Weekly fare breakdowns are now in the app.
Weekly earnings at a glance
Fares pay drivers, commercial auto insurance, government fees, and Uber’s service fee. In that order. Take a look and get to know your weekly earning in a new light.
Driver earnings
The percentage of fares that drivers earn week-to-week might not be what you’d expect.
Commercial auto insurance
States require Uber to carry commercial auto insurance to cover riders and drivers when they are on a ride.
Government fees
Depending on where you drive, government fees like tolls or airport and city charges might be involved.
Uber's service fee
Uber's service fee is the difference between what riders pay and drivers earn, minus tips and fees.
There’s more to fares than you might think
Get to know the ins and outs of insurance
Ever wonder why insurance is in your weekly fare breakdown? States require Uber to carry commercial auto insurance to cover riders and drivers when they are on a ride. The cost varies state by state but is a fast-growing piece of Uber fares.
Get the facts on government fees
Roads and city infrastructure charge fees to offset the cost of use. Fares pay for tolls, airport charges, or other government-required fees on your breakdown. Uber keeps zero percent of these fees.
