The booking fee is a variable fee added to every trip you take on economy products (like UberX or UberX Share) in most US markets. Booking Fees help support regulatory, safety, and operational costs.
This fee scales with the distance of the trip and is variable because operational costs scale with the distance of the trip.
Note: Not all states have a booking fee.
You’ll still see the price (or fare estimate) before you request a ride.
You can get a price estimate in your city with more details on specific booking fee costs for you trip.
Time and distance pricing does not apply to Uber Reserve, which is paid as an upfront fare.
