New to Uber? Sign up through a referral link and your first two rides are 50% off, up to $10 off each. The discount is attached to your new account automatically, so there is nothing to type in when you book.
FareEstimate may receive a referral credit when you use this link. It does not change what you get.
How to claim the Uber discount
- Open the referral link. Follow this Uber referral link on your phone. It opens the Uber app, or the App Store or Google Play if you do not have the app yet.
- Create your account. Sign up as a new rider. Because you arrived through a referral link, the offer is tied to the new account.
- Take your first two rides. The 50% discount, up to $10 a ride, comes off the price before you confirm.
The fine print
- The offer is for people who have never had an Uber account.
- You have 30 days from creating the account to use both discounted rides.
- It works on any ride type, including UberX.
- The most you can save is $10 a ride, so $20 in total.
If the discount does not show up
The usual cause is creating the account before opening the referral link, or already having an Uber account under the same phone number or email. The discount shows on the price screen before you confirm a ride, so look there first. If it is missing on a brand-new account, contact Uber support, because only Uber can add a promotion after sign-up.
Check the price before you book
A discount goes further on some trips than others. Compare Uber with Lyft, taxis and self-driving rides for your trip, or look up typical ride prices in your city.
New to Lyft as well? The Lyft promo code gives first-time riders a similar discount.
Common questions
How much can I save with the Uber referral offer?
Up to $20. You get 50% off each of your first two rides, with the saving capped at $10 a ride.
Do I need to enter an Uber promo code?
No. Signing up through the referral link applies the offer for you. If the app asks for an invite code while you sign up, the code behind the link is r7y4aye467v6.
Does the Uber promo code work for existing users?
No. This offer is for new accounts only. Existing riders sometimes receive promotions from Uber inside the app, and those vary from person to person.
How long do I have to use the discount?
Thirty days from the day you create the account.
Does it work on UberXL or Uber Black?
Yes. The offer applies to any ride type. The $10 limit on each ride still applies, so on a larger ride you save $10, not half the fare.
