Uber offers Auto and Auto Plus services in select cities. These services provide convenient transportation solutions, each with its own unique features. Let’s break down the differences between the two to help you decide which one suits your needs best.
Auto:
Auto is a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering that provides riders with a more flexible and direct experience. Here’s what you need to know:
- Fare Suggestions: The fare displayed is only a suggested fare for your trip. The final fare is settled directly between you and the driver, allowing you the flexibility to agree on the price.
- Cash Payments Directly to Drivers: Payments for Auto rides are made exclusively in cash to the driver. You are directly connected to the driver, and support for fare-related issues is not provided by Uber. This can be convenient for riders who prefer to pay the drivers directly in cash rather than digital payment methods.
- No Trip-Level Commission: Unlike other Uber services, Uber Auto does not levy any trip-level commission for the drivers. This means that drivers keep 100% of the fare negotiated with the rider, making it a more attractive option for drivers.
Auto Plus:
For riders who want a little bit extra, Uber Auto Plus offers a more comprehensive experience, and exciting promotions. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Enhanced Support: With Uber Auto Plus, riders receive end-to-end support from Uber. This includes features such as customer service assistance for fare related issues, ride tracking, and overall support for any issues that may arise during the trip.
- Payment Options: Unlike Uber Auto, Uber Auto Plus offers riders the flexibility to make payments using both cash and digital payment methods. Uber may also offer exciting promotions and offers from time to time. This can be convenient for riders who prefer the security and convenience of digital transactions.
- Possible Commission: While Uber Auto Plus may offer additional support and payment options, it’s important to note that Uber may charge a commission on these rides to drivers.
