Summary

81% Informative

Uber says drivers earn at least a National Living Wage when giving lifts.

Drivers say they have seen an increase in the commission Uber takes per ride.

Drivers are not shown how much a rider has paid for a journey - only what they earn from it.

Uber says they have access to industry leading worker rights such as a pension and holiday pay.

Uber drivers do not know what riders pay for each trip, and told us they are barred from asking their customers directly how much they paid.

An Uber spokesperson said commission rates were "not the case when averaged out over the week " They added that when Uber became a "merchant operator" in the UK they moved from a fixed "service fee" of 25% to a variable amount.
