Understanding trip service fees

Trip service fee

  • The service fee is the amount that earners pay to Uber for each trip.
  • It’s the difference between what the rider pays and what the driver earns for that trip, not including any tips, tolls, and certain fees like taxes and surcharges.

Weekly service fee

  • The weekly service fee represents the total service fees paid to Uber by an earner over a one-week period.
  • This total is adjusted by subtracting any extra payments made to the earner not shown on the per-trip receipts. These might include bonuses from weekly promotions, cleaning fee reimbursements, and compensation for returned lost items.
