Uber One is Uber’s paid membership. It promises lower delivery fees, ride credits, and some discounts. Whether it’s worth it depends on one thing: how often you actually order and ride. Here’s how to check that with real numbers, before you pay.
| Item | Approximate figure |
|---|---|
| Monthly price | $9.99 |
| Free trial | 4 weeks for eligible new members |
| Delivery fee benefit | $0 on eligible orders above the minimum |
| Break-even | about 3 to 4 orders a month with $3 to $4 in fees |
What Uber One includes
According to Uber’s official page, Uber One costs $9.99 a month. Its main benefits include:
- Eats: $0 delivery fee on eligible food and grocery orders above the minimum subtotal, plus a discounted service fee. Standard delivery must be within at least 3 miles.
- Rides: 5% back in Uber One credits on eligible rides.
- Other: up to 10% off some delivery and pickup orders, and member-only offers.
Uber says eligible first-time members can get a 4-week free trial. Check the price and trial on the Uber One page before you sign up, since offers can change.
Do the math on your own orders
Here’s a simple way to test it. Add up the delivery fees and service fees you paid over the last month. Then compare that to the $9.99 monthly fee. If your fees are higher than that, the membership may pay off on delivery alone.
Example with made-up numbers: say you order food 4 times a month and each order carries a $4 delivery fee and a $3 service fee. That’s $28 a month in fees. A membership that removes most of those fees and costs $9.99 could save you money. But if you order once a month, the math doesn’t work.
How to cancel
- Open the Uber app and go to the Uber One section.
- Tap Manage Membership.
- Tap End Membership.
Uber also says credits earned through the membership end when the membership ends, so use them before you cancel.
Who should skip it
- You order or ride less than a few times a month.
- You mostly order from places with high minimums, which cancel out the fee savings.
- You forget to cancel trials.
Frequently asked questions
Does Uber One include Uber Eats?
Yes, the Eats benefits apply to eligible food and grocery orders. Check the benefit terms in the app for your area.
Can I use Uber One for rides and food?
Yes. Ride credits come from eligible rides, and delivery benefits come from eligible Eats orders.
My take
Uber One is worth trying for a month if you order food often, and the trial gives you a low-risk way to test it. Track your delivery fees for that month, and cancel if the savings don’t beat the $9.99 fee. You can read the full terms on Uber’s official Uber One page.
