Uber has introduced its subscription service, 'Uber One', in India as part of its efforts to attract more users amid rising competition in the country’s ride-hailing market. The service, available in monthly, quarterly, and annual plans, is designed to offer customers a range of benefits aimed at providing better value for money. According to the company, Uber One has already gained a significant following internationally, with over 25 million members globally. The service is now being expanded to India in a bid to tap into a growing base of regular Uber users.
Uber One is a subscription-based service that provides users with a variety of perks when using the Uber app for rides. The subscription is available in three pricing tiers: ₹149 per month, ₹349 for three months, and ₹1,499 for an annual subscription. By signing up for one of these plans, users gain access to discounts, credits, and other benefits that are designed to make their rides more affordable and rewarding. According to the company, Uber One aims to cater to users who frequently use Uber services and wish to save on their travel expenses over time.
One of the main advantages of subscribing to Uber One is the Uber Credits. Members receive up to ₹150 in Uber Credits per trip, which can be used to reduce the cost of rides. These credits are automatically applied to eligible trips, making it easier for users to save money with every ride. For those who use Uber often, these credits can add up quickly, helping to offset daily commuting costs.
In addition to ride-related benefits, Uber One members in India also receive a three-month Zomato Gold membership. This membership provides access to a range of discounts and exclusive offers at participating restaurants, which could appeal to users who frequently dine out or order food online. This partnership with Zomato adds another layer of value to the subscription, extending the benefits beyond just ride-hailing.
With the savings from Uber Credits and discounts from Zomato Gold, subscribers may find the subscription pays for itself over time, making it a worthwhile investment for regular Uber users. However, it may not be as cost-effective for occasional users who do not use the service often enough to fully benefit from the credits and discounts.
Additionally, Uber One members enjoy priority support, top-rated drivers on eligible rides, and in-app discounts on select rides.
