Yes, Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to extend its effect beyond the borders of these countries. And so much so that from now on you will pay more for your trips every time you take an Uber car in Spain. The reason is compelling: the unstoppable cost of crude oil and fuels Of course, for now it will only affect your transportation, not your food orders.
At least that's what they say from Business Insider, where they confirm statements by those responsible for Uber in Spain about increasing 0.50 euros each trip in UberFrom this moment.The idea is that this surcharge covers the rise in fuel prices and thus "support drivers with the increase they are seeing in their operating costs." And it is that the situation of the war on the other side of Europe has jeopardized the sustainability of many jobs and infrastructures that were already f altering in some cases.
At the moment only for the transport of people
This increase of 50 cents applies to all Uber trips, regardless of the type of vehicle or trip carried out Even Even if we choose the route in electric cars, we will see that the price is somewhat higher. But it has not moved, however, to the delivery or delivery service of food at home. In this case, prices remain unchanged.
A situation that is far from what has been seen in the United States, where this extra cost has already begun to be applied as well. Around 0.45 or 0.55 dollars for the transportation of people and from 0.35 to 0.45 for food delivery.
A temporary measure until the price of gasoline drops
For now, Uber will apply this new surcharge to all users of their trips in the next 60 days And the measure is temporary waiting for the price of fuels to regulate and go down again. We will have to wait, then, to see if our trips continue to cost 50 cents more than usual after these two months.
In tuexperto.com we have tried to calculate a usual route and, for the moment, we found no differences. In fact, this increase of 50 cents is not broken down in the digital invoice before ordering the vehicle. It may be applied soon. We have checked with Uber for details on this and will update the article as soon as we have official confirmation.
