Uber is introducing a temporary fuel surcharge in an effort to help its drivers and delivery people amid record-high gas prices.
that starting on March 16, customers will have to pay a $0.50 surcharge on every Uber ride while consumer fees will be adjusted to cover the equivalent of a $0.35 surcharge on every Uber Eats delivery where trips are shorter.
“The temporary fee is designed to reduce the burden of high gas prices, not to cover the full cost of a tank,” the company said in a statement. “The fee is temporary but lasts for at least the next 60 days, but we will continue to review feedback and monitor gas prices throughout that period.”in recent weeks, reaching $1.90 per litre this week.
