Uber One is a paid membership that bundles discounts across Uber's services

Uber One is a subscription you pay monthly or annually to get discounts on Uber Eats, Uber rides, and Uber Cash purchases. You do not get free rides or free food — you get a percentage off the price, plus waived delivery fees on some orders. The membership costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Whether it saves you money depends on how often you use Uber's services and which ones you use most.

Uber One is optional. You can use Uber Eats and Uber rides without it and pay full price. The membership is worth considering only if you already plan to order food or request rides regularly. If you use Uber occasionally, the monthly fee will likely cost more than any discount you receive.

Key Takeaways

  • Uber One costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year and gives you percentage discounts on Uber Eats orders and Uber rides, not free service.
  • The membership waives delivery fees on Uber Eats orders over a certain amount, which varies by location and changes over time.
  • You must have an active Uber account and be at least 18 years old to purchase Uber One.
  • You can cancel Uber One at any time through the Uber app; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

What Uber One covers: rides, food delivery, and cash purchases

Uber One gives you a discount percentage on Uber rides in most U.S. cities where Uber operates. The exact percentage varies by location and changes periodically. You also receive a discount on Uber Eats orders — again, the percentage is not fixed and depends on your city and current promotions.

The membership waives delivery fees on Uber Eats orders that meet a minimum order value. That minimum also varies by location; in some areas it is $15, in others it is higher. Uber Eats service fees and restaurant markups still apply — the waiver covers only the delivery charge itself.

Uber One members also earn extra Uber Cash back on certain purchases. Uber Cash is a prepaid balance you can use on Uber Eats or Uber rides. The cash-back rate depends on which restaurant or service you use and changes with promotions. This is not a fixed benefit; it fluctuates.

How to purchase and activate Uber One

Open the Uber app on your phone and go to the Account tab. Look for the Uber One option — it usually appears as a banner or card. Tap it and select either the monthly or annual plan. You will be asked to confirm your payment method. The charge will appear on your card immediately.

Your membership becomes active right away. You do not need to enter a code or confirm anything else. The next time you open Uber Eats or request an Uber ride, the discounts will show in the app before you complete your order or request.

If you have an Uber account linked to a phone number or email, you can also manage Uber One through the website at uber.com, though most people use the app. The process is the same: go to Account settings and select Uber One.

What Uber One does not include

Uber One does not cover Uber Eats+ or Uber Pass, which are separate memberships. Uber Eats+ is a free tier that gives you a small discount and waived delivery on select restaurants; Uber Pass was an older membership that Uber has largely phased out in favor of Uber One. Do not confuse them.

The membership does not cover Uber Freight, Uber Green rides, or other Uber services outside of regular Uber rides and Uber Eats. It also does not include any insurance, roadside assistance, or account protection. You are paying for discounts only.

Uber One does not may provide that restaurants or drivers will be available in your area, nor does it speed up delivery or pickup times. Surge pricing still applies to rides during peak demand, though the discount is calculated after surge pricing is added.

Canceling Uber One and getting a refund

To cancel, open the Uber app, go to Account, and find Uber One. Tap "Manage subscription" or "Cancel membership." Confirm the cancellation. Your membership will end at the end of your current billing cycle — if you paid for a month, you keep the membership until that month is over. If you paid for a year, you keep it for the full year unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Uber does not issue refunds for partial months or years. If you cancel mid-cycle, you lose access to the membership benefits immediately, but you are not charged again. If you cancel before your annual renewal date, you will not be charged for the next year.

You can reactivate Uber One at any time by going back to the Account tab and selecting the membership again. There is no penalty for canceling and rejoining later.

Who can purchase Uber One and account requirements

You must be at least 18 years old and have an active Uber account to purchase Uber One. Your account must be in good standing — Uber may refuse to sell the membership to accounts with a history of fraud, payment disputes, or violations of their terms of service.

You need a valid payment method on file: a credit card, debit card, or other payment option Uber accepts in your country. The payment method must be current and not expired. If your card is declined, the membership purchase will fail and you will not be charged.

Uber One is available in the United States and some other countries, but not everywhere. Check the Uber app in your location to see if the membership is offered. If you do not see the option, it is not yet available in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Uber One work in every city?

Uber One is available in most major U.S. cities where Uber operates, but not all. The discount percentages and delivery fee waivers also vary by city. Open the Uber app and look for the Uber One option in your Account tab — if you see it, the membership is available where you are.

Can I share my Uber One membership with family members?

No. Uber One is tied to a single account and cannot be shared. Each person who wants the membership must purchase their own subscription. Family members can have separate Uber accounts and separate Uber One memberships if they choose.

What happens to my Uber One if I delete my Uber account?

Your Uber One membership ends when you delete your account. If you later create a new Uber account, you will need to purchase a new Uber One membership. Uber does not transfer memberships between accounts or issue refunds when an account is deleted.

Do I get Uber One discounts on orders placed through a restaurant's website?

No. Uber One discounts only apply to orders placed through the Uber Eats app or website. If you order directly from a restaurant's own website or app, Uber One does not apply, even if that restaurant is available on Uber Eats.

Can I use Uber One if I have a promotional code or discount?

Usually yes, but it depends on the promotion. Some promo codes cannot be combined with Uber One. The app will show you the final price before you confirm your order, so you can see whether the code or the membership discount gives you a better deal.
