Hello there! Here’s a guide to Uber pricing here in Metro Manila.
First of, there are two (2) types of cars you can request thru Uber: uberX and Black Car.
UberX
Car types: sedan and AUV (e.g. Vios, Innova, Adventure, etc.)
Minimum Fare: Php 60
Base Fare: Php 40
Per Minute Rate: Php 2/min
Per Kilometer Rate: Php 5.7/km
Black Car
Car types: SUVs (e.g. Fortuner, Montero, Grandia, Everest, etc)
Minimum Fare: Php 120
Base Fare: Php 90
Per Minute Rate: Php 2.10/min
Per Kilometer Rate: Php 12.92/km
It’s important to note how Uber calculates for your fare:
Fare = [Base Fare + (Time x Per Min Rate) + (Distance x Per Distance Rate)] x Surge
Surge Pricing
Another important thing to remember is that Uber has surge pricing. This means that normal fare surges by the multiplier based on the demand for Uber service. Right now, surge pricing ranges from 1.3x up to 4.0x the normal fare. This surging is determined by the algorithm of Uber (we think). For example, if the surge pricing is 2.0x the normal fare, your total fare is doubled as simple as that. 🙂
You always have the option to wait for the surge to pass. There’s an option before requesting for an Uber to accept the surge pricing or to notify you when the fare is back to normal.
How do you know if there’s surge pricing? Look for the lightning icon. Refer to the pictures below.
Sample Fare Calculation
Here’s a sample fare calculation with surge pricing of 1.3x. All of these are available in your trip history in your Rider Dashboard. Uber also emails you the trip invoice showing the fare calculation.

Hi Mhon,
At this point, Uber is accepting compact cars. However, it’s not yet clear whether these type of car will still be accepted for when they implement and comply with the LTFRB Ridesharing Regulation.
If you want to research more about the LTFRB Regulation. Refer here:

Let us know if you still have questions. Hope you can use our Partner Invite Code”QPKMY” when you sign up as a partner to get Php 2000 Sign Up Reward after you’ve completed 10 trips. You must sign up as a partner-driver and complete the 10 trips yourself to get the bonus.

does she have to make an acct. as partner operator? then add me as driver? what would happen to my acct then?
The big problem is doesn’t want to be left behind, she wants to be part of it.yes it is possible i know but thats not her point,
in her part she giving all the opportunity and in all legality in all aspect,(using her vehicle) to start my own business and maybe someday have my own car registered on my name added to my uber acct. which i very much appreciate. all she wanted is a separate pay how can you help me on this?

Unfortunately, NO. That’s between you and her to give her her portion. Or yes, she can also create her own Partner Account and register her vehicle and add you as a driver in her account so that she gets the payout directly to her account. Then, she’s the one to give you (the driver) their payment. Here’s a step by step guide on how to be an Uber Partner. Hope this helps.
