Uber Is Testing Flat-Fare Multi-Ride Packages From Just $1.99/Ride!

Just noticed this morning and already used it! Amazing!

Sure beats the Subway, in for 1.

In the New York City version, if I go from Brooklyn to monsey is that included in the much package for $6 for that ride?

Just to clarify, you wrote, “You can’t buy a new pass until your old pass expires or is fully used.”
Based on their faqs in the app about purchasing more than one package, it says you can pre-purchase a package once you have 15 days left. This means if you use your 20 rides, you can purchase another 20, but can only start using them once your initial 30 days have passed.

I guess this is gonna kill Via ?

Really happy about this, they had it in Manhattan a while ago but sure glad they expanded it.

This is great. Tried it in NYC but I got quoted $19 for a ride saying “flat rate plus overage” Any idea how to avoid the overage?

Just bought it for nyc did not say anything about full or whatever

U can only ride in 5 boro and up to $30 value.. if trip is more the $30 they will charge u the difference..

IF my math is correct, it’s not really “from $1.99/ride” if you also had to pay $10 or $20 for the package. 🙂

Trying to sign up for MIA (live in NYC but seems to be worth it to grab for vacation) but it says unavailable. Any idea how to get it pushed through?

unavailable in Miami

@Shaul- Wondering the same thing…Myabe Dan could share some persuading tips…😊😉

Nyc includes Brooklyn?

It seems Denver is out but this should be great for an upcoming trip to NYC. I imagine I can take a shuttle to the LGA car rentals and then just pick an Uber up from there to Manhattan.

Will these rides work with the 10$ off promos…?

@Jacob: Dream on. Look at the service area. It doesn’t include NJ or Update NY.

What does this mean for drivers…?

Started using it already, honestly incredible. And if you select 2 riders it doesn’t charge an extra dollar on uber pool

@Hymie: There is no way. You pay the overage if the normal cost of the ride is more than $20.

@Mountain Man: @Mountain Man: Yes or you can just a few minutes to a few blocks away from the airport so you don’t have to wait for the shuttle (also then you’re not misusing the shuttle). Keep in mind if the ride if over $30 (the normal Uber price) you pay the difference. So for far rides it really isn’t flat rate just discounted.

I’m trying to add my CSR to Uber and it asks me to verify the card by taking a picture of it and pulling the card number from it. However it won’t recognize the CSR card number. Anyone know what to do?

thanks for the Hat tip I posted this on form at 8:55 am

Why mention that ewr is excluded if the nyc offer doesn’t include NJ? All it did was get my hopes up.

DDF user lubaby is correct but the flat rate is only valid of rides up to $30. Any amount of $30 will be charged. It can still be a good deal but you can get to Midtown from JFk for $7.75 in about an hour on public transportation.

@Anonymous: I mean to say you just WALK a few block from LGA and then request the Uber.

I wonder if I could use it for uber pool with 2 people

‘…that you can take an Uber to/from long-term parking at JFK and take the free AirTrain from there to/from the terminal..

what would be the advantage to taking uber from long term parking at jfk?

Wow! I will try it on the way home this afternoon. It beats the express bus fare.

@Ariella: It does include a small part of NJ (the Jersey City, Hoboken area).

@evan: @evan: B/c JFK is excluded but the JFK Long Term Parking (Lefferts Blvd) isn’t excluded.

I signed up this morning in NYC, and was able to apply one of the $10 coupon from other day off of the $5.99. I wasnt using all 5 by Sunday or Monday so it made sense

Can the rides be used at all hours of the day? or certain times only? NYC

@Anonymous: got it, thanks!

@Anonymous:

-1. No part of NJ is included

If I buy this on my chase sapphire rewards card, will it automatically go towards the $300 travel credit?

Hyatt Regency O Hare is slightly outside the zone. Would it work to get shuttle to HR and then call Uber? Just curious for a trip coming up.

is it available in new jersey

Any tips on getting dropped off at EWR? Will the driver look at me funny if I ask him to leave the trip running for an extra five minutes after I get dropped off?

Hi there.. I have a friend in Las Vegas that is using flat fares even though it’s says on website it’s not available in my city.. Anyone know how she would have got it??

I live in new rochelle. can i use this to get to the new york city border, then get charged for the remaining distance to new rochelle

@Shaul: did you get it to work?

What is Uber pool?

Chicago is sold out.

Why don’t This working for New York City anymore it says will notify you when it’s available

Update For NYC : They added a 10 ride flat fare option for $5

Pick a package

Select the number of flat-fare rides you want. Flat-fare rides are valid for 30 days after purchase or until you hit your ride limit.

10 flat-fare rides for a $5 activation fee
20 flat-fare rides for a $10 activation fee
40 flat-fare rides for a $20 activation fee

Philadephia and Seattle also now have option for 10 flat fare rides for $5 as well

Uber packages no longer available in nyc

How simple would it be to skirt the $30 limit by ending trip and starting a new one? Can your driver grab you when you call a new trip?

I just purchased a 20 ride package for $10 up front fee in nyc. 2/5/2017 at 12:08am

I got confirmation email.

Thanks Dan!

NYC 20 and 40 ride packages are still available

What do I type as the Uber destination to get me to JFK LONG TERM PARKING ?

is this coming back?? does anyone know

What’s going on with uber flat rides! Finished my rides in 2 weeks! Over 30 days no new packages are being offered! Why??

nyc flat rate fares now available

I think the flat-fare packages are available again
