How to Read the Uber Upfront Fare Screen [2025 Update]

In this video, Joe from The Rideshare Guy explains what the updated upfront fare screen looks like in the Uber driver app for 2025 - and how to quickly make sense of it before accepting a ride.

If you’ve ever felt rushed trying to figure out if a trip is worth it, Joe shows how to use the upfront details to calculate your pay per mile, estimated hourly rate, and whether it meets your goals - all in under 10 seconds.

Joe walks you through each part of the screen: trip type, exclusive requests, pickup and drop-off distances, passenger rating, and even how multiple stops appear on the screen so you can make the best decision for you.

The video also covers back-to-back requests and what to watch for on the map, plus tips for newer drivers who may not yet feel confident evaluating rides this quickly.

If you’re looking to earn smarter and avoid unprofitable trips, this walkthrough can help you feel more confident behind the wheel.
