It's no secret that a taxi driver's income depends on the number of orders, working hours and fare. Also from the revenue you need to subtract all the necessary expenses - fuel payment, maintenance and of course the commission of taxi apps. Just recently, the commission in the Uber app has temporarily changed, so drivers should find out the latest information.
Temporary changes in Uber's fees
So, what are the changes related to the commission? First we want to draw your attention to the fact that these changes apply only to work through the Uber app. Other apps have different commissions.
- For those who have a Polish driver's license. If a Polish driver's license is loaded in the driver's profile, the amount of commission from the application will be 22% + 23%VAT. The total commission in such a case will be 27.06%. We remind you that foreigners are obliged to replace the driving license for Polish one after six months of stay in Poland.
- Drivers with a license of another country. If the driver's profile is loaded with the license of his native country, the amount of commission from the application will be 28% + 23%VAT. The total commission in this case will be 34.44%.
If the average commission was 22% (with added and accepted Polish drivers) or less - there will be no change. If the commission is higher than the weekly average, Uber will even out the difference in favor of the driver. These changes are only temporary and are valid from May 14, 2024 to June 16, 2024 throughout Poland.
