• Your service fee with Uber can change from trip to trip.
• Uber sets the fee based on how accurate the upfront price is, which is calculated at the time the trip is accepted.
• The goal is to keep the service fee as close to 25% as possible.
• This approach adjusts earnings to align with the specific details of each trip, protecting your pay.

Lower service fee

• If the upfront price is lower than the final price (considering the base fare, time, and distance), Uber reduces the service fee. This helps ensure your earnings reflect the actual work you did.

Higher service fee

• If the upfront price is higher than what the passenger ends up paying, after considering the actual time and distance, the service fee increases.

Reservation fee

• With Uber Reserve trips, users pay higher booking fees (available on the trip receipt) and higher minimum prices than on on-demand trips, which means that drivers’ earnings include time (when drivers arrive early and wait by the user).
