Should Is Uber Pass Worth It?

The monthly subscription service by Uber, called “Ride Pass” gives you guaranteed consistent prices no matter what so you can travel for cheap.

So even if there high demand or surge pricing — your price is already locked in. This doesn't amount for tipping (yes, you should tip your Uber driver).

This means that you're still paying the normal rate for the ride as you would, however, you won't get charged extra for surge pricing.

Uber states that it's best for those who “want to confidently plan your day with Uber without any unwelcome surprises.”

Uber “Ride Pass” costs $24.99 a month in Austin, Denver, Miami, Orlando, and Los Angeles. However, you can easily make $50 a month to cover the costs with these simple ideas.

So it's best for those who tend to use Uber on a consistent basis and face surge pricing during peak hours (getting to and from work). You might end up saving money by locking in the normally priced fairs and the $24.99 will pay for itself, especially if you use Uber more than 3 to 4 times a week.

If you normally use Lyft, they also have a similar service that costs $299 for 30 free rides that are under $15 per month.

Bottom line: Is Uber Pass worth it? It is ideal for people who often travel between two locations daily in order to avoid surge pricing. Whether you go home from the office or go to the gym.
