Hourly is an Uber app feature that allows riders to book trips charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time of two hours. This option is exclusive to qualified Uber Black or Premier drivers.
If you’re a qualified driver, here’s how to opt in for Hourly trips:
Remember: * To stop getting Hourly trip requests, simply toggle the trip type off. * Tapping Reset will clear your filters and allow you to receive all trip types you are eligible for. * You can turn off Black or Premier Hourly trips at any time in your app preferences.
When an Hourly trip is available, it will appear as “Black Hourly” or “Premier Hourly” on the Driver app offer card, indicating the hours and maximum trip mileage requested. Feel free to cancel if needed.
Riders can request and update multiple stops during their trip. Time spent at these stops counts toward the Hourly service. Discuss stop durations and pickup locations with your rider beforehand.
The Hourly service is not offered for airport trips or destinations outside your city’s service area. Find your service area at Uber Cities.
