Is an Uber One Membership Worth It? Benefits & Pricing Explained

Discover whether Uber One actually saves you money

Are you considering an Uber One membership but want to make sure it’s worth the cost? If so, you’ve reached the right place! Committing to a subscription-based service can be a difficult decision, especially if there are lots of features (and terms and conditions). In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about Uber One so you can decide whether it’s right for you.

Is Uber One worth it?

  • An Uber One membership is worth it if you spend over $9.99 in delivery fees on Uber Eats each month.
  • Even if you don't use Uber Eats regularly, the monthly membership can still save you money if you spend at least $167 per month on Uber rides.
  • Uber One benefits include 6% back on eligible rides, up to 10% off eligible deliveries and pick up orders, and $0 delivery fees on eligible orders.

What is Uber One?

  1. Step 1 Uber One is a paid membership program that offers users exclusive perks.
    It applies to both Uber and Uber Eats, so you can receive special discounts on rides, groceries, food deliveries, and pickup orders. Uber claims that members save around $27 per month on average (excluding the cost of membership).[1]
    • Since the program works across all of Uber’s platforms, you don’t need to download a separate app to access the benefits—you can use the same Uber One membership for both Uber and Uber Eats.
    • Uber One is the replacement program for Uber Pass and Uber Eats Pass, which were discontinued at the end of 2021.
  2. Step 2 Uber One costs $9.99 per month or $96 per year.
    The monthly membership auto-renews every month unless you cancel it at least 48 hours before your next billing date. For the annual membership, you pay the full amount upfront, and it auto-renews every year on your enrollment date (unless you cancel it).[2]
    • With an annual Uber One membership, you pay slightly less per month ($8) than the monthly membership, but you cannot get a refund for the year once your payment processes.

What are the benefits of Uber One?

  1. Step 1 6% back on eligible rides and top-rated drivers
    In the United States and several other regions, Uber One members receive 6% back in Uber credits on all eligible rides, including UberX, UberXL, UberXXL, Comfort, Assist, Uber Pet, and Black (plus, priority access to the best drivers on the platform).[3] Other countries may earn different percentages–for example, in Hong Kong, you'll get 10% credits back on eligible rides and Uber Eats orders.[4]
    • You can also use your credits on Uber Eats.[5]
    • Only rides marked with the Uber One logo are eligible for credit.
  2. Step 2 Unlimited $0 delivery fee on eligible Uber Eats orders
    One of the most annoying aspects of Uber Eats is having to pay a delivery fee. However, with an Uber One subscription, you won't have to pay delivery fees on eligible orders. If you order meals, groceries, or other convenience items from Uber Eats, take note–Uber One subscribers save, on average, about $30 per month on Uber Eats.[6]
    • To check if your restaurant or store is an Uber One partner, open up the Uber Eats app and look under the name of the establishment for the Uber One logo—a gold-colored circle with the number 1 inside.[7]
    • Keep in mind that you still have to pay service fees, taxes, and tips for your order, which can make it significantly more expensive than buying directly from the store.
  3. Step 3 Up to 10% off eligible Uber Eats deliveries and pickup orders
    Along with an unlimited $0 delivery fee, Uber One members also receive 10% off eligible orders from restaurants and non-grocery stores marked with the gold Uber One icon (and 5% off eligible orders from participating grocery stores).[8]
    • To qualify for this offer, you must place an order of at least $15 at participating restaurants and non-grocery stores (and $35 at participating grocery stores).

Section 3 of 8:

Is Uber One worth it?

  1. Step 1 Uber One is worth it if you spend over $9.99 in delivery fees on Uber Eats each month.
    If you order food or groceries often, Uber One can be a great way to save money on food deliveries. Depending on your location, some delivery fees can be as high as $20 per order. So, you’re likely to break even with a monthly membership if you order food 2-3 times a month.
    • Before committing to Uber One, think about how often you use other apps for the same services. If you also use DoorDash, Grubhub, or Instacart for food deliveries, you might not reach the minimum amount per month to get your investment back.
  2. Step 2 For rides, Uber One is worth it if you spend more than $167 on Uber every month.
    If you order rides multiple times a month, Uber One may lower your monthly costs. Since it provides 6% off eligible rides, you would have to spend between $167 and $200 to break even with a monthly membership.[9]
    • Before committing to Uber One, review your previous transactions to see how much you typically spend on rides.
    • Credits are calculated based on the fare only–you won't get credit for tolls, tips, taxes, fees, or for portions of your ride paid for in previous credits.[10]

Is there a free trial for Uber One?

  1. Yes, new members are eligible for a free 30-day trial of Uber One.
    You still have to input your payment information to start your free trial, but you can cancel it at any time. If you decide to cancel your membership during the trial period, you lose all of your benefits immediately.[11]

Section 6 of 8:

How do I cancel Uber One?

  1. Step 1 Tap Account in the Uber or Uber Eats app.
    It should be in the lower right corner of your screen.[13]
  2. Step 2 Select Uber One.
    Details about your membership will appear.
  3. Step 3 Scroll down and tap Manage Membership.
    This button is at the bottom of your screen. Once you tap it, you will be able to see your billing information (including the next billing date and the amount you’ll be charged).
  4. Step 4 Tap End Membership.
    Once you click this button at the bottom of your screen, choose one of the cancellation reasons, then tap End Membership again to terminate your Uber One membership.[14]
    • You can cancel Uber One at any time, but make sure to do so at least 48 hours before your next billing date to avoid being charged.

How to Get the Most Out of Uber One

  1. Step 1 Check the Offers tab on Uber Eats for the deals in your area.
    Uber Eats always has exclusive deals for local restaurants, including coupons and BOGO offers. To see which deals are available near you, tap Offers at the top of the Uber Eats app to see current promotions in a green bubble at the top left corner of each restaurant.
  2. Step 2 Request an Uber outside of peak hours to avoid paying extra.
    If a bunch of people request an Uber in your area around the same time, your ride might cost more than usual. This temporary "surge" in pricing is common on weekends or anytime there’s a big event or festival. Consider planning your trip outside of these times to get the best deal on your ride.[15]
    • If you can’t schedule your trip around peak hours (and you’re in the middle of a price spike), move your pick-up area a few blocks over to see if it changes the cost of your ride. You may need to walk a little bit outside of your original location, but you can instantly save $10-15.
  3. Step 3 Book a ride with UberX Share to save up to 20% off your total fare.
    If you’re not in a rush to get somewhere, consider using the UberX Share feature to share a ride with a user headed in the same direction. According to Uber, it doesn’t add more than 8 minutes to your ride, and you can save up to 20% on your ride if you’re matched with a co-rider.[16]
    • Keep in mind that you can only request one seat on UberX Share. If you’re with friends, book an UberX or UberXL.
  4. Step 4 Buy discounted gift cards to pay for your Uber One membership.
    You can buy discounted Uber and Uber Eats gift cards online to help you save a little extra money on your membership. Sites like GCX offer up to 7% cash back on Uber gift cards.
