How Much Is My Driver Referral Bonus on Uber?

Uber uses referral bonuses to encourage people to sign up as new Uber drivers. This bonus varies from place to place. To determine what it is, sign up or refer new drivers with a referral code. You can get help on the Uber online help forum.

Uber encourages people to become Uber drivers by offering referral bonuses. If a current driver refers someone to Uber and that person completes their first trip within a certain timeframe, both the referring driver and the new driver will receive a bonus. If you want to know what your Uber driver referral bonus is, keep on reading.

How the Driver Referral Bonus Works

For a referral bonus, give your referral code to somebody interested in becoming a driver. As long as they use your referral code when they sign up to become a driver, you will receive a referral bonus if they complete the required number of trips within the required time.

If you aren't yet an Uber driver, find someone who is and ask for their referral code. Even if you don't know any Uber drivers, you can probably find one with a code online. Use the code when you sign up to become a driver. You'll be given a goal of a certain number of trips to make and a goal of when to make them by. Once you make them, you will receive your bonus.
