What is Uber Green and what are the advantages for TVDE drivers?
This article explains what the Uber Green category is, how it works for TVDE drivers, and the advantages of using an electric vehicle in this category.
What is Uber Green?
Uber Green is a category on the Uber platform that allows passengers to choose trips made with low-emission electric or hybrid vehicles.
This option was created by Uber with the aim of promoting more sustainable mobility and reducing CO₂ emissions associated with urban transport.
For TVDE drivers, driving an electric vehicle allows them to access this category and receive Uber Green trip requests.
Advantages for TVDE drivers
The main advantage is related to demand. More and more passengers are looking for mobility options with less environmental impact. The Uber Green category allows us to respond to this demand and increase travel opportunities, thereby reducing the time drivers spend without requests.
In addition, Uber has implemented a temporary reduction in the service fee for Uber Green rides.
- Reduced service fee on Uber Green rides:
- 15% service fee until December 31, 2023 (40% reduction);
- 20% service fee throughout 2024 (20% reduction);
- 22.5% service fee throughout 2025 (10% reduction);
- Starting January 1, 2026, the service fee will return to the initial rate of 25%.
