Uber One costs $9.99 per month and bundles discounts across Uber Eats, Uber rides, and partner retailers

Uber One is a paid membership that gives you reduced delivery fees, lower service charges, and occasional discounts on food orders and rides. You pay a flat monthly fee instead of paying full fees on each transaction. The membership does not cover the cost of the food or rides themselves — it only reduces what Uber charges on top of that.

The membership is optional. You can use Uber Eats and Uber rides without it, but you will pay higher fees per order or ride. Uber One is worth considering if you order food or request rides multiple times a month, because the savings on fees can add up quickly.

Key Takeaways

  • Uber One costs $9.99 per month and reduces delivery fees on Uber Eats orders, service charges on rides, and fees at partner stores like Target and Walmart.
  • Without the membership, you pay standard delivery fees (usually $2 to $3 per order) plus a service charge; with it, delivery is often free or reduced to $0.99.
  • The membership applies only to fees Uber charges — it does not lower the price of the food or ride fare itself.
  • You can cancel the membership at any time, and Uber offers a free trial period so you can test whether the savings match your ordering habits.

What the $9.99 monthly fee covers

The membership removes or reduces several fees that normally stack on top of your order or ride cost. On Uber Eats, you typically get free delivery on orders over a certain amount (usually $15 to $20, depending on your location and the restaurant). Without the membership, delivery fees range from $2 to $5 per order. You also get a reduced service charge — the percentage Uber takes from each order — which can save $1 to $3 on a typical food order.

On Uber rides, the membership gives you a discount on the ride fare itself, usually around 10 percent off most trips. This applies to standard Uber X rides, though surge pricing and other factors still affect the final cost. The membership also extends to Uber Eats+ restaurants, which are partner locations that offer faster delivery and sometimes exclusive menu items.

Beyond Uber's own services, Uber One includes discounts at retail partners like Target, Walmart, and DoorDash (which Uber owns). These discounts vary — some are percentage-off deals, others are free delivery on orders above a minimum amount. The specific retailers and discounts available depend on your location.

How much you might save each month

Whether Uber One saves you money depends entirely on how often you order and ride. If you order food twice a month, the $9.99 fee probably costs more than you would save. If you order three to four times a week, the membership typically pays for itself within the first few orders.

A concrete example: suppose you order Uber Eats twice a week at $20 per order. Without the membership, you pay roughly $2.50 delivery plus $3 in service charges per order — that is $5.50 in fees per order, or $44 per month in fees alone. With Uber One, delivery becomes free and the service charge drops, cutting your fees to roughly $1 per order or $8 per month. That saves you about $36 per month, which more than covers the $9.99 membership.

However, if you only order once or twice a month, you would save less than $10 in fees, which means the membership costs more than it saves. Uber offers a free trial (usually 30 days) so you can track your actual spending and decide whether the membership makes sense for your habits.

How to start and cancel the membership

To get Uber One, open the Uber Eats or Uber app, tap the account menu (usually a profile icon), and look for the Uber One section. You will see the option to start a free trial, which typically lasts 30 days. After the trial ends, Uber charges $9.99 per month to your payment method on file. The membership renews automatically each month unless you cancel it.

Canceling is straightforward and can be done anytime. Go back to the same account menu, find Uber One, and select the option to cancel membership. You will not be charged again, and your current membership remains active until the end of the current billing period. Uber does not charge a cancellation fee or require you to give notice.

If you cancel and later want to rejoin, you can restart the membership at any time. Some users cancel during months when they know they will not order much, then restart when their ordering habits pick back up. There is no penalty for doing this.

Regional differences and what is not included

Uber One is available in most U.S. cities, but the exact discounts and partner retailers vary by location. A Walmart discount in one city might not be available in another. The best way to see what is included in your area is to check the Uber One section in the app before you commit to the membership.

The membership does not cover tips, taxes, or the actual cost of food and rides. It only reduces the fees Uber charges on top of those costs. Restaurant prices, food quality, and ride times are not affected by the membership. You also cannot stack Uber One discounts with other promotions — if a restaurant is running a special offer, you get one or the other, not both.

Comparing Uber One to other delivery memberships

DoorDash offers a similar membership called DashPass, which costs $9.99 per month and covers DoorDash orders. Instacart has Instacart+ for $9.99 per month. The main difference is that Uber One bundles rides and Eats together, while DashPass focuses only on food delivery. If you use both ride services and food delivery, Uber One might offer better overall value. If you only order food, DashPass and Instacart+ may have better coverage in your area or with your preferred restaurants.

Grubhub does not charge a membership fee but instead offers a free tier with reduced fees for frequent users. This means you can get some of the same savings without paying upfront, though the discounts are typically smaller than what a paid membership provides.
