Uber has launched its global subscription service, Uber One, in Egypt—marking its debut in North Africa. For a flat monthly fee of EGP 65, users can access benefits like ride credits, faster customer support, and priority matching with top-rated drivers.
How Uber One Works in Egypt
The service is available to all Uber users across Egypt. Subscribers earn up to 15% back in Uber One Credits on eligible rides, credited to the Uber Wallet within one hour. These can be used on future trips within 60 days.
Unlike other markets, the Egyptian version doesn’t include Uber Eats or grocery perks, as those services are not available locally. Instead, Uber One in Egypt focuses entirely on ride-hailing perks. Users can cancel anytime, with annual plans priced at EGP 650.
Uber One vs. Other Markets
Globally, Uber One combines delivery and ride benefits. In the U.S., members enjoy 0% delivery fees on Uber Eats and discounts on groceries. In Egypt, the program pivots to a cashback-style model for rides, aligning with local demand and usage patterns.
Uber positions these credits as a flexible reward system rather than upfront fare discounts. Subscribers also get faster issue resolution and are prioritized during surge periods—key differentiators as rider expectations grow.
Egypt’s Ride-Hailing Landscape in 2025
Since entering Cairo in 2014, Uber has completed millions of trips and become a market leader. But competition has intensified. Apps like inDrive allow fare negotiation, while DiDi and traditional taxis via Swvl appeal to price-sensitive riders.
As economic pressures and fuel costs rise, user loyalty has become harder to maintain. Uber One is Uber’s answer—a retention play aimed at increasing lifetime value in a highly fragmented market.
