Uber One gives you discounts on Uber rides and Uber Eats orders for a monthly fee
Uber One is a paid membership program that bundles discounts across Uber's ride service and Uber Eats food delivery. You pay a monthly subscription fee — currently $9.99 per month for most users, though the price may vary by location and promotional offers — and in return you get a percentage off may be able to access rides and food orders, plus free delivery on Uber Eats orders above a certain minimum.
The membership is optional. You can use Uber and Uber Eats without it and pay full price. Uber One straightforward reduces what you pay per transaction if you use both services regularly enough that the monthly fee pays for itself.
The discount structure and what counts as an may be able to access order can change, so it's worth checking your Uber app to see the current terms in your area before you commit to the subscription.

- The membership is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime through your Uber app account settings.

How much you save with Uber One
The discount percentage on rides and Uber Eats orders varies by city and changes periodically. Uber typically advertises discounts in the range of 10% to 15% on may be able to access orders, though the exact amount depends on your location and current promotions. The free delivery benefit on Uber Eats is usually the bigger savings for frequent food delivery users, since delivery fees can add $3 to $5 or more per order.
To know whether Uber One will save you money, open your Uber app, look for the Uber One section, and check what the current discount rates are where you live. If you order food delivery or take rides several times a month, the $9.99 fee often pays for itself quickly. If you rarely use either service, the membership probably isn't worth it.
What's included and what's not
Uber One discounts explore to most Uber rides in your area, but some ride types may be excluded — for example, Uber Eats delivery orders placed through the Uber Eats app typically get the discount, but rides booked through Uber's ride app do. Check your app to see which specific ride categories and restaurants may have access to in your location.
Not every restaurant or store on Uber Eats participates in the discount program. Some merchants opt out, and some may have minimum order requirements before the discount kicks in. The free delivery benefit usually requires a minimum order amount — often $15 to $20 — which also varies by location and merchant.
Promotions, surge pricing, and other temporary price adjustments may override or reduce the Uber One discount. If a ride is surging or a restaurant is running a separate promotion, Uber applies whichever benefit works in your favor, but the discount doesn't stack on top of other deals.
How to sign up for Uber One
Open your Uber app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. Look for "Uber One" or "Membership" in the menu. Tap it and select the option to start your membership. You'll be asked to confirm your payment method — the subscription will charge to the card or payment method you have on file with Uber.
Your first month may be discounted or free as a promotional offer, depending on current Uber promotions in your area. After that, you'll be charged $9.99 (or your local equivalent) on the same day each month. The membership renews automatically unless you cancel.
Some users may see Uber One offered as a trial or promotional period before they're asked to pay. If you see an offer in your app, you can tap through to review the terms and start the trial from there.
How to cancel Uber One
You can cancel your Uber One membership anytime through your Uber app. Go to your account settings, find the Uber One or Membership section, and look for a "Cancel Membership" or "Manage Subscription" button. Tap it and confirm the cancellation.
When you cancel, your membership ends at the end of your current billing cycle. You won't be charged again, but you'll lose access to the discounts when ready. If you cancel mid-month, you don't get a refund for the portion of the month you don't use.
If you want to pause the membership temporarily rather than cancel it outright, check whether Uber offers a pause option in your area — some regions allow you to suspend the subscription for a set period and resume it later without losing your membership history.
Uber One vs. paying per ride and order
Without Uber One, you pay full price for every ride and Uber Eats order. Delivery fees on Uber Eats typically range from $2 to $5 or more depending on distance and demand. Ride prices vary based on distance, time of day, and demand.
With Uber One, you trade a fixed $9.99 monthly cost for a percentage discount on most transactions. The math works in your favor if you order food delivery or take rides frequently — even two or three Uber Eats orders with free delivery per month can cover the membership fee. For light users who order once a month or less, the membership usually isn't worth the cost.
Uber occasionally runs promotions that give you free or discounted Uber One for a limited time. If you're on the fence, a free trial period is a good way to test whether the membership saves you money based on your actual usage patterns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Uber One work in all cities?
Uber One is available in most major U.S. cities, but not everywhere. Availability and discount rates vary by location. Open your Uber app and check the Uber One section to see whether the membership is offered in your area and what the current discounts are.
Can I use Uber One on someone else's account?
No. Uber One is tied to the account that pays for it. If you want to share the benefits with family members or roommates, each person would need their own Uber account and their own membership. Some regions offer family or household plans, so check your app to see if that option is available where you live.
What happens to my Uber One if I don't use it for a month?
Your membership stays active and you'll continue to be charged $9.99 each month, even if you don't take any rides or place any orders. If you know you won't be using Uber or Uber Eats for a while, cancel the membership to avoid being charged. You can always sign up again later.
Are tips included in the Uber One discount?
No. The discount applies to the base fare or order subtotal, not to tips. Tips are calculated and charged separately, so you'll still pay the full tip amount on top of the discounted ride or order price.
Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied with Uber One?
Refunds for Uber One membership fees are not standard, but you can cancel anytime to stop future charges. If you were charged in error or have a billing dispute, contact Uber support through the app to explain the issue and request a review.
