Uber One membership costs $9.99 per month and includes delivery discounts, reduced service fees, and priority support across Uber Eats and Uber rides
Uber One is a paid membership that bundles discounts across Uber's services into one subscription. The monthly cost is $9.99, and it stacks benefits on top of your regular Uber and Uber Eats account — you do not need a separate account or sign-up process beyond choosing to subscribe within the app.
The membership is designed to save money if you use both ride and food delivery regularly. Whether it actually saves you money depends on how often you order and how much you typically spend per transaction. Someone who orders food twice a week and takes Uber rides weekly will see a return on the subscription cost; someone who uses the services once a month probably will not.
Key Takeaways
- Uber One costs $9.99 per month and covers both Uber rides and Uber Eats orders in the same subscription.
- Members get a percentage discount on Uber Eats orders, reduced delivery fees, and lower service fees on both platforms.
- You can cancel the subscription at any time through the app without penalty or explanation.
- The membership breaks even around two to three Uber Eats orders per month, depending on your order size and location.
What Uber One includes
The membership covers four main benefits. First, you get a percentage discount on Uber Eats food orders — typically 10% off may be able to access restaurants, though the exact amount varies by location and restaurant. Second, delivery fees on Uber Eats drop from the standard rate (usually $2 to $5) to a flat $0 for orders over a certain amount, which also varies by market but is often $15 or $20.
Third, the service fee — the percentage Uber charges on top of the food price — is reduced for members. Fourth, Uber One members get priority customer support, meaning your calls and messages move ahead of non-members in the queue. On the ride side, you receive a percentage discount on Uber rides, typically 5% to 10%, though this varies by city and time of day.
These benefits apply only to orders and rides you take while the subscription is active. If you cancel, the discounts stop immediately on your next transaction.
How much you actually save
Whether Uber One pays for itself depends on your usage pattern. If you order food from Uber Eats twice a month and take one Uber ride per week, the math works like this: two orders at $25 each with a 10% discount saves you $5 per month, and four rides at $15 each with a 5% discount saves you $3 per month. That is $8 in savings against a $9.99 subscription cost — you break even or lose a dollar.
If you order three times per week, the picture changes. Three orders per week at $25 with 10% off is roughly $22.50 in monthly savings, plus ride discounts, and the subscription pays for itself several times over. The threshold is roughly two to three Uber Eats orders per month plus occasional rides, or one order per week if you ride regularly.
Your actual savings will differ based on restaurant prices in your area, how much you spend per order, and whether you use Uber rides at all. Uber One does not discount convenience store or alcohol orders on Uber Eats, and some restaurants are excluded from the discount program.
How to subscribe and cancel
To start Uber One, open the Uber or Uber Eats app, tap your account icon, and look for the Uber One option in the menu. You will see the $9.99 monthly price and a summary of benefits. Tap to subscribe, and the charge will appear on your payment method on file. Your subscription renews automatically each month on the same date.
To cancel, return to the same menu, find Uber One, and select the option to cancel membership. The app will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount to stay, but you can decline and proceed with cancellation. Once you cancel, you lose the benefits immediately — your next order or ride will not include discounts. You can resubscribe at any time.
Uber One does not offer a free trial period, though Uber occasionally runs promotional offers for new members. Check your app notifications or the Uber One page to see if a discount is available in your area.
Comparing Uber One to paying per order
The alternative to Uber One is paying standard fees on each order and ride. Standard Uber Eats orders include a delivery fee (usually $2 to $5), a service fee (typically 10% to 15% of the order total), and sometimes a small booking fee. A $25 order might cost $30 to $32 with all fees included. With Uber One, the same order would cost roughly $27.50 after the 10% discount and $0 delivery fee.
For rides, Uber charges a base fare plus a per-mile and per-minute rate, with no additional service fee. Uber One's 5% to 10% discount applies to the total. If you take a $15 ride, Uber One saves you 75 cents to $1.50. The membership makes more sense for frequent Eats users than for ride-only customers.
Some cities and times of day have surge pricing on rides, which Uber One does not reduce. During surge periods, the percentage discount applies to the already-inflated price, so the absolute savings may be smaller than during normal hours.
Regional differences in Uber One pricing and benefits
Uber One is available in the United States, Canada, and some other countries, but the exact benefits and pricing vary by location. In some markets, the monthly cost may be different, or the discount percentages may shift. Delivery fee waivers apply only to orders above a certain threshold, and that threshold is set by your local market.
To see what Uber One includes in your specific area, open the app and navigate to the Uber One section. You will see the exact discounts, delivery fee rules, and any current promotions. If you travel frequently between cities, check the benefits in each location, because they may not be identical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Uber One on someone else's account?
No. Uber One is tied to the account that pays for it. If you share an Uber account with a family member, both of you get the benefits when the subscription is active, but only one person can be the subscriber. You cannot transfer the membership to another account.
Does Uber One work with Uber Eats gift cards?
Yes. The discount applies to the food and service fees, and you can use a gift card as your payment method. The percentage discount reduces the subtotal before the gift card is applied, so you get the full benefit of membership.
What happens to my Uber One subscription if I do not use it for a month?
The subscription continues and you are charged the monthly fee, even if you do not place any orders or take any rides. Uber does not pause or refund unused months. If you know you will not use the service for a while, cancel the subscription and resubscribe when you are ready.
Does Uber One cover Uber Eats from all restaurants?
No. The discount applies to most restaurants on Uber Eats, but some are excluded — typically convenience stores, alcohol-only vendors, and certain specialty merchants. When you browse restaurants in the app, you can see which ones offer the Uber One discount before you order.
Can I get a refund if I was charged for Uber One by mistake?
Contact Uber support through the app by tapping your account icon, selecting Help, and describing the charge. Uber can review the transaction and issue a refund if the charge was unauthorized or if you cancelled before being charged. Keep the date and time of the charge handy when you contact them.
