Uber One is a paid membership that bundles discounts across Uber's services
Uber One is a subscription that combines discounts on Uber rides, Uber Eats food delivery, and Uber Cash into one monthly or annual fee. You pay a flat rate upfront — currently $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year — and then receive reduced delivery fees, lower service fees on rides in some cities, and bonus Uber Cash on top-ups. It is not required to use Uber or Uber Eats; it is optional and only saves money if you use the services regularly.
The membership works across the Uber app and the Uber Eats app on the same account. Discounts apply automatically when you place an order or request a ride. You can cancel at any time, and there is no lock-in contract.
Key Takeaways
- Uber One costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year and stacks discounts on rides, Uber Eats delivery, and Uber Cash bonuses into one membership.
- The main savings come from waived or reduced delivery fees on Uber Eats orders, which applies to most restaurants and grocery partners.
- Ride discounts vary by city and are not may provide on every trip; delivery fee waivers are the most consistent benefit.
- You break even on the annual plan if you use Uber Eats roughly twice per month or take several rides per month, depending on your city.
- You can pause or cancel your membership at any time with no penalty.
What the membership covers
Delivery fee waivers are the core benefit. With Uber One, you pay $0 delivery fee on most Uber Eats orders from restaurants and grocery stores, though a small service fee still applies. Without the membership, delivery fees typically range from $2 to $5 per order depending on distance and demand. This is where most members see their savings.
Ride discounts vary by city. Some cities offer a percentage discount on Uber X or Uber Comfort rides; others offer no ride discount at all. Check the Uber app in your city to see what ride benefits are active where you live. Surge pricing and airport fees are not discounted.
Uber Cash bonuses give you a percentage back when you add money to your Uber Cash balance. For example, you might get a 10% bonus when you load $20, meaning you receive $22 in Uber Cash. The bonus percentage and minimum load amount change periodically.
When Uber One saves you money
The membership pays for itself fastest if you order Uber Eats regularly. If you place two Uber Eats orders per month with a typical $3 delivery fee each, you save $72 per year — which covers the annual membership cost. If you order more often, the savings grow quickly.
Ride discounts add to the value in cities where they are available, but they are usually smaller than delivery savings. A 5% discount on a $15 ride saves you 75 cents, so you would need to take many rides per month for that alone to justify the membership.
If you rarely use Uber Eats and your city offers no ride discount, Uber One is unlikely to save you money. Use the calculator in the Uber app to estimate your potential savings based on your actual usage.
How to sign up and manage your membership
Open the Uber app or Uber Eats app, go to your account settings, and look for the Uber One option. Tap to view the membership details, then select your billing cycle — monthly or annual. You will be charged immediately, and the membership becomes active right away. Discounts apply on your next order or ride.
To pause or cancel, return to the same settings menu and select the option to manage your membership. You can pause for up to three months without losing your membership, or cancel entirely. If you cancel mid-month, you do not receive a refund for the remainder of that billing period.
Comparing Uber One to paying per order
Without Uber One, you pay a delivery fee on each Uber Eats order, plus a service fee. With Uber One, the delivery fee disappears but the service fee remains. The service fee is typically 10% to 15% of your order total and is not waived by the membership.
Some restaurants and grocery stores offer their own discounts or free delivery through their own apps or loyalty programs. If you already use those, compare the total cost — membership plus remaining fees — against what you pay through the restaurant's direct channel. Occasionally, ordering directly is cheaper.
What happens if you do not use the membership
If you sign up but stop using Uber and Uber Eats, your membership fee continues to charge each month or year until you cancel. There is no automatic pause or refund for unused months. Set a reminder to cancel if you know you will not be using the services for a while, or pause the membership instead.
If you travel or move to a city where Uber does not operate, the membership remains active but provides no value. You can pause it for up to three months or cancel outright.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Uber One work on rides and Uber Eats at the same time?
Yes. The membership applies to both services on the same account. You do not need separate memberships. Discounts apply automatically whenever you use either service.
Can I share Uber One with family members?
No. Each person needs their own membership on their own account. Uber does not offer a family or household plan for Uber One.
What if I have a promo code or discount that conflicts with Uber One?
Uber One discounts and promo codes usually cannot be combined on the same order. The app will show you which discount applies and let you choose. In most cases, Uber One delivery fee waivers are better than a one-time promo code.
Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. Cancellations are effective immediately, but you do not receive a refund for the remainder of your billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a 30-day month, you lose the second half of your payment.
Is Uber One available in my city?
Uber One is available in most major U.S. cities and some international markets, but not everywhere. Open the Uber app and check your account settings to see if Uber One is offered in your location.
