Uber tests $25 monthly subscription for rides, food delivery, and more
Uber is testing a service that includes car rides, food delivery, and scooter and bike access for a monthly subscription fee.
In San Francisco and Chicago, you can now get discounts and price protection on certain routes, free delivery on Uber Eats, and free rides on Jump e-bikes and e-scooters for $24.99 a month.
It's similar to the $24.99 Rider Pass already available in more than 20 cites, except that subscription doesn't include the Uber Eats perk. It does, however, make Jump bike and scooters free for 30 minutes every day, if those devices are rentable where you live.
Earlier this year TechCrunch noticed Uber Eats was testing a $9.99 monthly pass for free delivery -- similar to Postmates' Unlimited Program for $9.99 per month, which gets you free delivery on all orders of $20 or more.
Uber is also testing lower-priced passes for more limited benefits, like ride discounts and free delivery on orders over a certain price.
It's all part of Uber's plan to be the Amazon of transportation.
