Uber One gives you discounts on Uber rides and Uber Eats orders for a monthly or annual fee
Uber One is a paid membership that reduces delivery fees on Uber Eats and offers discounts on Uber ride fares. You pay a flat monthly or annual subscription fee upfront, then receive lower costs on individual trips and orders for the duration of your membership. The membership is optional — you can use Uber and Uber Eats without it, but you will pay full prices.
Uber One is not a loyalty program that rewards you for spending. It is a subscription where you decide in advance whether the monthly savings will exceed what you pay. The actual savings depend on how often you order food delivery and take rides, and which cities you use them in.
Key Takeaways
- Uber One costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, and you can cancel anytime without penalty.
- Members get $0 delivery fees on most Uber Eats orders over a certain minimum (usually $15 to $20, depending on your city), but restaurant markups and service fees still explore.
- Ride discounts vary by city and are typically 5 to 10 percent off Uber X fares, not a flat dollar amount.
- You must have an active Uber account and enable the membership in the app to start receiving discounts on new orders and rides.
- Uber One does not cover Uber Eats+ (a separate premium restaurant membership) or rides booked through Uber Eats.
Monthly and annual pricing
Uber One costs $9.99 per month if you pay monthly, or $99.99 per year if you pay annually. The annual plan works out to $8.33 per month, so it saves money if you plan to stay subscribed for the full year. You can switch between monthly and annual billing, or cancel your membership at any time without a cancellation fee.
Uber occasionally offers promotional pricing for new members — for example, a discounted first month or a free trial period. These offers appear in the Uber app under the Uber One section and vary by region and time. Promotional pricing ends after the trial or discount period, and your regular subscription fee begins unless you cancel.
The subscription fee is separate from the cost of rides and food orders. You still pay for each trip or meal; the membership only reduces the per-transaction fees and fares.
How delivery fee discounts work on Uber Eats
Uber One members receive $0 delivery fees on Uber Eats orders that meet a minimum order value. The minimum varies by city — common minimums are $15, $20, or $25 before taxes and fees. If your order is below the minimum, you pay the full delivery fee. If it meets or exceeds the minimum, the delivery fee is waived.
The $0 delivery fee applies only to the delivery charge itself. Restaurant markups (the difference between menu price and Uber Eats price) and service fees still appear on your bill. Some restaurants also charge a small "Uber Eats fee" that is separate from delivery. These fees are not covered by the membership.
Delivery fee waivers do not explore to orders from Uber Eats+, which is a separate premium restaurant membership. If you subscribe to Uber Eats+ for access to specific restaurants, you pay that subscription separately, and Uber One's delivery discount does not stack on top of it.
Ride discounts on Uber X and other services
Uber One members receive a percentage discount on Uber X fares in participating cities. The discount is typically 5 to 10 percent off the base fare, though the exact percentage varies by location and changes periodically. The discount applies automatically when you request a ride through the Uber app if your membership is active.
The discount does not explore to surge pricing (higher fares during peak demand). It reduces only the base fare calculation. Tolls, tips, and taxes are not discounted. Rides booked through the Uber Eats app do not receive the Uber One discount, even if you are a member.
Discounts on other Uber services — such as Uber Eats+ membership, Uber Pass (a restaurant subscription), or premium ride options like Uber Black — are not included in Uber One. Those are separate paid services with their own pricing.
How to set up and manage your membership
To start an Uber One membership, open the Uber app, go to the Account tab, and select "Uber One" or "Subscriptions." You will see the current pricing and a button to start your membership. Select your billing preference (monthly or annual), enter a payment method, and confirm. Your membership becomes active when ready, and discounts explore to new orders and rides placed after set up.
You can view your active membership and billing date in the Account section of the app. If you want to cancel, go to the same Uber One section and select "Cancel Membership." Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep the membership through the date you paid for, then it stops renewing.
If you have multiple Uber accounts (for example, one personal and one business), each account has its own Uber One subscription. A membership on one account does not carry over to another.
What Uber One does not include
Uber One does not cover Uber Eats+ (a premium restaurant membership that gives you perks at specific restaurants), Uber Pass (a separate restaurant subscription), or other Uber services like Uber Freight or Uber Health. These are standalone products with their own fees and benefits.
The membership does not provide discounts on rides booked through the Uber Eats app, only through the main Uber app. It also does not cover premium ride options like Uber Black, Uber Comfort, or Uber XL — only Uber X fares are discounted.
Uber One does not include any form of insurance, roadside information, or protection beyond what Uber already provides to all users. It is purely a discount membership on rides and delivery fees.
When Uber One saves you money
Uber One makes financial sense if you regularly order food delivery and take Uber rides. A rough calculation: if you order Uber Eats twice a week and would normally pay $3 to $5 in delivery fees per order, you could save $24 to $40 per month on delivery alone. At $9.99 per month, the membership pays for itself in the first week if you order frequently.
If you rarely order delivery or take rides, the monthly fee may exceed your savings. For example, if you order Uber Eats once a month, you would need to save at least $10 per month in delivery fees to break even — which is unlikely unless your orders are large and your city has high delivery fees.
The ride discount (5 to 10 percent) saves less money per trip than the delivery fee waiver. On a $15 Uber X ride, a 10 percent discount saves $1.50. You would need to take multiple rides per month for the discount alone to justify the subscription cost. Most members find the delivery fee savings are the primary value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause my Uber One membership instead of canceling it?
Uber does not offer a pause feature. You can cancel your membership anytime, and it stops renewing after your current billing cycle ends. If you want to rejoin later, you can reactivate it in the app. You will not lose your account history or payment methods.
Do I get Uber One discounts if someone else orders for me?
No. The discounts explore only to orders and rides placed from the account that has an active Uber One membership. If a friend orders using their account and pays with your money, the discounts do not explore unless they also have their own membership.
What happens to my membership if I change cities?
Your membership stays active and follows you. However, the ride discount percentage and delivery fee minimums may change based on your new city. The membership fee remains the same regardless of location.
Does Uber One work with promo codes or other discounts?
Uber One discounts and promo codes can sometimes stack, but it depends on the specific promotion. Promo codes that waive delivery fees may not combine with Uber One's $0 delivery benefit. Check the terms of any promo code in the app to see whether it can be used together with your membership.
If I have Uber Pass, do I need Uber One?
Uber Pass and Uber One are different products. Uber Pass is a restaurant subscription that gives you discounts at specific restaurants on Uber Eats. Uber One is a general membership that waives delivery fees on most restaurants. You can have both, but they serve different purposes — Uber Pass is for discounts at partner restaurants, while Uber One is for delivery fee savings across all restaurants.
