How much does Uber cost?

It’s easy to find out how much your ride will cost before you request it.

Uber automatically shows you how much your ride will cost when you enter your destination.

The cost of an Uber ride is determined by the ride type, the distance, the time, market demand, and other fees such as tolls or airport surcharges.

The cost does not depend on the number of passengers. If you have more than one passenger, the cost of your ride will not increase.

If you ride with more than one passenger, you can choose to equally split the cost of the ride. There is a 25 cent fee for each rider who splits the ride.
