Uber launched its Uber One subscription service in India to increase customer loyalty in the fiercely competitive ride-hailing industry. This rollout offers new advantages above the company’s previous Rider Pass for users who depend on Uber for their regular commutes or sporadic travels. With ride discounts and other benefits, Uber One, which is already popular in the US and Canada, aims to improve the overall experience for Indian passengers.
What Is Uber One?
Uber One is a subscription plan that gives users access to various benefits, such as ride discounts, priority customer support, and exclusive offers. Uber Credits (up to ₹150 per trip) are earned by subscribers, which lowers ride charges. The service wants to give regular users more value by providing a flexible method to save money and have a more comfortable travel experience. With this international product now accessible in India, Uber aims to reward devoted users in a highly competitive market.
Pricing Plans
Uber One is available in three pricing tiers, giving users the flexibility to choose what works best for them:
- Monthly Plan: ₹149
- Quarterly Plan: ₹349
- Annual Plan: ₹1,499
Because these options accommodate varying usage levels, Uber One is usable for individuals who rely on Uber more regularly and those who only ride a few times each month.
Membership Benefits
When you sign up for Uber One, there are several benefits you can unlock:
- Uber Credits: Save up to ₹150 per ride, helping to reduce trip costs.
- Zomato Gold: A free three-month membership to Zomato Gold gives you access to dining and delivery perks.
- Priority Support: Subscribers get quicker access to customer service whenever they need help.
A key point to note is that only annual subscribers can cancel their membership, and if they do, they lose all credits and benefits tied to the plan.
Why Uber One, And Why Now?
Uber’s push into India with Uber One comes when ride-hailing services face stiffer competition. New players like Namma Yatri are making their mark with their subscription offerings. Uber One’s launch is part of a strategy to stand out by offering something more for regular commuters—be it the discount on rides or the bonus perks like Zomato Gold. The idea is to foster long-term loyalty and keep users coming back.
Safety Features And Convenience Updates
Uber has made the experience safer by adding several new safety features for drivers and passengers in addition to the subscription service. Among these updates are:
- SOS Integration: A direct line to emergency services in case of an incident during a ride.
- Helmet Selfie: A feature for pillion riders, ensuring safety by verifying helmet usage.
- Women Driver Preference: Female drivers can select the gender of the passengers for added comfort.
- Audio Recording for Safety: Drivers can record audio if they feel unsafe during a trip. The recordings are encrypted and deleted after 15 days.
Uber also supports India’s gig workers through its partnership with the e-Shram portal, encouraging drivers to register and benefit from the country’s new social security code.
Global Success Of Uber One
Uber One has already seen strong success globally, with over 25 million subscribers. By bringing it to India, Uber intends to forge closer ties with local users by offering them greater advantages and freedom. Uber uses this to show how much they appreciate your business and want to improve your experience.
In conclusion, Uber One goes above and beyond a basic membership and is committed to improving the customer experience. Uber is trying to provide even more value to its Indian consumers while competing in a market that is changing quickly with a combination of transportation discounts, eating benefits, and improved safety measures. Uber One offers something that makes traveling around a little bit easier—and more rewarding—whether you’re a regular passenger or a casual user.
