Understanding my trip fare

Upfront price model

• Your earnings for each trip will be shown upfront in the Uber app to you decide to accept or not the trip.
• The amount you see upfront is calculated using several factors, including surge pricing.
• Tips, waiting time fees, tolls, and any other surcharges are not included in the fare that’s shown upfront.
• Reserve trips will also include a Reservation Fee, which is a way to compensate drivers for the extra effort to make a reserve trip, considering the waiting time and effort to arrive at the pickup location.

If you find a route that’s more efficient and finish the trip quicker than expected, you’ll still get the upfront fare. In that case, as long as pickup and dropoff addresses don’t change, the upfront fare can only increase.

We know that some trips like those that go through heavy traffic or toward areas with low demand might not feel worth your time. To help make these kinds of trips (which can account for more than half of your total trips) more worthwhile for you, upfront fares will be adjusted to help you find great earnings opportunities throughout the day.

Understanding fare differences for ride categories

• Different Uber ride options like UberX, Uber Comfort, or Uber Black have their own specific prices.
