Uber One costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year
Uber One is Uber's paid membership program that gives you discounts on rides and food orders. The monthly plan costs $9.99, and the annual plan costs $99.99 — which works out to about $8.33 per month if you pay yearly. You can cancel either plan at any time through the Uber app without penalty.
The membership covers both Uber rides and Uber Eats food delivery. You get the same discount rate on both services, so a single membership works for your transportation and your food orders. If you use both services regularly, the annual plan usually pays for itself within the first few months.
Uber occasionally runs promotions where new members get their first month free or discounted. These offers appear in the app when you're may be able to access, but the standard price remains $9.99 monthly or $99.99 yearly once any promotional period ends.

What discounts you actually get with membership
Uber One members receive a percentage discount on ride fares and Uber Eats orders. The exact discount percentage varies depending on your city and current promotions — Uber does not advertise a single discount rate that applies everywhere. Before you purchase, you can see what discount you'll receive in your specific location by opening the Uber app and viewing the membership details.
The discount applies automatically to every may be able to access ride and food order once you're a member. You don't need to enter a code or manually claim the discount — it shows up in your total when you check out. Some items on Uber Eats, like alcohol or certain restaurant promotions, may not be may be able to access for the member discount.
Uber One also includes other perks that change periodically, such as free delivery on Uber Eats orders above a certain amount, priority customer support, or exclusive deals from partner restaurants. Check the membership section of your app to see what's currently included in your area.
How to check if membership makes sense for your spending
The easiest way to know whether Uber One will save you money is to look at your past spending. Open the Uber app, go to your account, and check your ride and Uber Eats history from the last month or two. Add up what you spent on rides and food delivery combined.
Once you know your typical monthly spending, multiply it by the discount percentage shown in the membership details for your location. If that number is more than $9.99 per month, the membership will save you money. For example, if you spend $150 per month on rides and Uber Eats combined, and your discount is 10 percent, you'd save $15 monthly — which covers the membership cost and leaves you ahead.
If you spend less than $100 per month across both services, the membership usually won't pay for itself. If you spend more than $150 monthly, it almost certainly will. The annual plan makes the most sense if you're confident you'll use Uber and Uber Eats regularly throughout the year.
How to purchase Uber One membership
Open the Uber app and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner. Select "Uber One" or "Membership" from the menu — the exact wording depends on your app version. You'll see the membership details for your location, including the discount percentage and any current promotions.
Choose whether you want the monthly or annual plan. Tap the purchase button, and your payment method on file will be charged immediately. Your membership becomes active right away, and the discount will apply to your next ride or food order.
If you don't see the Uber One option in your app, your city may not have the program available yet. Uber has rolled out membership in most major US cities but is still expanding to smaller markets. You can check Uber's website or contact their support team to see if membership is available in your area.
How to cancel your membership
You can cancel Uber One at any time without losing any remaining balance or facing a cancellation fee. Open the Uber app, go to your profile, and select "Uber One" or "Membership." Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Membership" button and confirm the cancellation.
If you paid for an annual plan and cancel partway through, Uber does not issue refunds for the unused portion. However, you can still use your membership benefits until the end of your paid period. If you cancel a monthly plan, your membership ends immediately, and you won't be charged again.
After you cancel, you can rejoin Uber One at any time by following the purchase steps above. There's no penalty for canceling and restarting, so you can pause your membership during months when you don't expect to use Uber or Uber Eats much.
Comparing Uber One to other membership programs
Uber One is Uber's only paid membership program for individual users. If you use Uber frequently but don't want a subscription, you can still get occasional discounts through promotions that Uber sends to your app — these are free and don't require membership.
If you use other delivery services like DoorDash or Grubhub, those platforms have their own separate membership programs with their own costs. There's no single membership that covers multiple delivery apps, so you'd need to decide which service you use most and whether that membership makes sense for your spending.
Some credit cards offer cash back or points on Uber and Uber Eats purchases. If you have one of those cards, you might save more through the card's rewards than through Uber One membership — it's worth comparing both before you commit to the subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
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 membership discounts needs their own subscription. Some families use a shared Uber account, but this isn't recommended because it makes it harder to track individual rides and payments.
Do I get a refund if I cancel my annual membership early?
Uber does not issue refunds for unused portions of annual memberships. Once you cancel, you can still use your membership until the end of your paid year, but you won't receive money back. If you're unsure about committing to a full year, start with the monthly plan instead.
What happens to my membership if I don't use Uber for a while?
Your membership stays active and you'll continue to be charged monthly or annually until you cancel it. Uber doesn't pause memberships automatically, so if you won't be using the service for several months, cancel to avoid paying for a benefit you're not using.
Does Uber One work in other cities when I travel?
Yes, your membership discount applies in any city where Uber operates, though the discount percentage may differ from your home city. The discount is tied to your account, not your location, so you'll get the member rate wherever you take a ride or order food.
Is there a student or senior discount on Uber One membership?
Uber occasionally offers promotional discounts on membership for specific groups, but these vary by location and time. Check the membership section of your app to see if any special pricing is available to you. Standard pricing is $9.99 monthly or $99.99 yearly for all other users.
