Uber is the ever-expanding on-demand transport service that has revolutionized the taxi industry around the world. The business model of Uber is a great success and they recently launched a new service called Uber Ride Pass to help riders save money.

According to CNET, you can save up to 15%, but that number could vary, and it isn’t clear if you’ll mostly hover in the 10% savings range or closer to 15%. That’s uncomfortably vague for our liking, especially since Ride Pass costs $24.99 per month.

Ride Pass is a new way for riders to receive price protection on rides on qualified coverage areas of their city, for one low monthly fee. In this Uber Ride Pass review, we’ll learn if Uber Ride Pass is worth it?

Ride Pass gives you consistently, lower prices no matter the traffic, weather, or time of day. Ride Pass is available in select cities for a monthly fee of just $24.99.

How Much Does Uber Ride Pass Cost?

Ride Pass, is a new way for riders to lock in consistently low prices on any ride you take, anywhere in a city, anytime of day for a small monthly fee that starts at just $24.99.

Daily commute or night on the town, traffic or open roads.

A pass offers benefits, such as discounts on eligible trips, for a one-time activation fee, passes are still tested and are only available for a few months per month, while passes are temporary offers.

Prices at ride-share services rise or fall depending on demand.

For example, a ride into work early, ahead of the pack, is typically cheaper than a ride home at day’s end during peak commute time when “surge pricing” kicks in.

Uber plans to expand Ride Pass into more cities throughout 2022. Keep an eye out for Ride Pass in your Uber app.

Is Uber Ride Pass Legit?

This new Route Pass option is ideal for people who often travel between two locations. Whether you go home from the office or go to the gym at least 3 times a week.

It is a great option if you commute during peak hours or if you live in an area where prices often rise because Route Pass charges you a standard rate.

I know friends who work near AT&T Park, and I can only imagine what surge pricing looks like after a giant game!

How to Use Uber Ride Pass?

Uber Ride Pass is currently available in a limited number of cities across America. Right now they are testing Uber Ride pass in select cities:

  1. Austin
  2. Denver
  3. Los Angeles

  5. Orlando

Ride Pass protects every UberX and UberPool trip in your city’s eligible area. After purchase, you can see map details by tapping Ride Pass in your Uber app menu.

Note: you can see this option only if Uber has invited you to use this offer. You also need to check if you are paying the one-time activation fee (the amount varies depending on your market, assuming Ride Pass is available). This is not the most straightforward process, but it is a bit understandable as it is an experimental program.

I would recommend Ride Pass to the riders that take Ubers daily or even a few times weekly, but not to someone who occasionally takes an Uber on a rare night out.

I wouldn’t recommend it at all. It’s 25 monthly. Okay so lets ay you’re just a rider and you have short commutes. Congrats. You just gave Uber 3 rides of your money for the pass ON top of the prices of 3 rides you’ll have to give them anyway. You get nothing for say 4+ rides a month.

Mind you I didn’t mention the other ride services. I didn’t even mention longer commutes. Yes if you use a service frequently of course its worth it to get it because you have nothing to lose and you simply get a slightly softer punch to face in terms of saving money.

Why doesn’t Uber offer a service pass for rides only similar to buses. I wouldn’t mind if for a one time fee of 300-400 yearly you get to ride as you go. Mind you as expensive as that is that’s a hell of a lot cheaper than than 24 a month PLUS whatever you give them for the rides themselves regardless of the benefits.

The reason they don’t do it because that’s the reason. Its a lot easier to get their numbers up and still charge you a subscription service and then charge you the same price they were going to for each ride

How is this even legal
