Splitting a fare with a friend

Your app includes a Split Fare feature that allows you to divide a trip fare equally between your account and other riders’ accounts. Here’s how:

  1. Request a ride.
  2. Before or during the ride, swipe up from the bottom of the app.
  3. Tap your selected payment method.
  4. Tap Split Fare.
  5. Enter the names or phone numbers of other riders.
  6. Your fellow riders are immediately sent a notification request to accept your split fare.

In order for the fare to be split, other riders must accept before the trip ends. Your trip fare will be divided equally between yourself and all other riders who accept. If a fellow rider chooses not to accept split fare or doesn’t have a valid payment method, you’ll be charged for both your portion and theirs. The split fare feature is unavailable for certain vehicle options, including UberX Share.

Fares cannot be split after the trips ends and your payment method has been charged.

Please note that when a fare is split, each participating rider is charged a 25 cent fee.

Apple Pay may not work on split fares. If you use Apple Pay but want to split a fare, you may need to use another payment method. You can switch back to Apple Pay on your next trip.
