Uber Pricing Model
Uber typically takes around 20-25% of the total fare as their service fee. The exact percentage varies based on the city and service type. The base fare is the starting point for every Uber ride. It covers the cost of initiating the ride and includes a small portion of the driver’s earnings.
Tips for Uber Service
You should tip 10% to 20%, depending on how good the service was. Tips go directly to drivers; Uber doesn’t charge service fees on tips.
Uber Driver Earnings
The average Uber driver’s annual income in Chicago is $39,902, ranging between $33,102 and $48,702. Factors like surge pricing, driver incentives, and the number of riders have a significant impact on the driver’s earnings.
Other Information
Uber has a rating system where riders can rate drivers on a scale of 1 to 5 stars after each trip. While there is no set rating at which Uber deactivates drivers, a low rating can lead to deactivation if it falls below a certain threshold.
