Uber offers hundreds in bonuses for some drivers as the busy holiday season approaches

Uber incentivizes drivers with bonuses for ride completions and referrals, boosting earnings amid rising gas prices.

Uber is offering some drivers hundreds of dollars in incentive pay to boost driver participation ahead of the busy holiday season. The bonuses vary depending on the number of rides completed within a set time period and can reach up to $1,225 for referring new drivers. Uber has previously used incentive payments to attract drivers during periods of high demand, such as when pandemic restrictions eased in 2021.

Drivers often bear their own costs, such as car maintenance, and the current rise in gas prices has impacted their earnings. However, the specific reason behind Uber's current incentive program was not provided by the company.
