Hourly is a ride option in the app that enables riders to request a trip by the hour with a two-hour minimum. This ride option is only available to drivers who are eligible for Uber Black or Premier.
Drivers who are eligible can opt in to receiving Hourly trips through Preferences in the Driver app. Here’s how:
Note: If you’d like to turn it off, you can tap the trip type to stop receiving this type of request. To reset your filters and receive all trips types you’re eligible for, tap “Reset.”
If you’d like to opt out of Black or Premier Hourly trips, you can turn this off any time in your Driver app preferences.
The requests will show up as “Black Hourly” or “Premier Hourly” on the offer card in the Driver app. The rider’s requested number of hours and maximum trip mileage will be shown at the bottom of the offer card. You can cancel for any reason.
The app enables riders to request multiple stops and update those in-app during the trip. Time spent at stops is included in the Black / Premier Hourly trip time. Before making a stop, it might be helpful for you to discuss with your rider how long they expect the wait to be and where you can both meet for the pick up.
Hourly is not available for trips to or from the airport, or with destinations outside your city’s service area.
That’s between you and your riders. The app enables riders to request Black Hourly or Premier Hourly between 2 and 7 hours. Trips that reach 8 hours will automatically end in the app. A rider may request additional time beyond the initial request, and the driver can choose to accept or reject the overage request.
Drivers will earn a minimum amount per hour, after a service fee for each hour of the trip. Riders must request at least two hours. If the trip exceeds the time and/or distance initially requested by the rider and accepted by the driver, drivers will earn the following overages:
Surcharges and tolls are charged to the rider in addition to these rates. Wait Time fees are applicable to this trip type. On Black Hourly and Premier Hourly, riders will be charged wait time fees five minutes after your arrival at their first requested pickup location. These wait time fees will accrue and you will receive a driver-initiated cancellation fee 15 minutes after arrival if the rider has not arrived by that time.
