Uber processed $58.0 billion in Gross Bookings, a 24% year-over-year increase, in the second quarter of 2026, according to its Q2 2026 earnings release. Among the quarter’s other Uber statistics, the platform averaged 208 million monthly active platform consumers and 3.9 billion trips, while a record 10.2 million drivers and couriers earned over $25 billion on the platform.
Momentum held across the business: Gross Bookings accelerated to 22% year-over-year growth, the fourth consecutive quarter above 20%, and trailing twelve-month free cash flow exceeded $10 billion for the first time in Uber’s history. The sections below break those totals into revenue by country, driver pay, headcount, Uber One, autonomous vehicles, and a head-to-head with Lyft, using Uber’s filings rather than third-party estimates.

Uber Monthly Active Platform Consumers (MAPCs) Statistics
- In Q2 2026, MAPCs grew 16% YoY and monthly Trips per MAPC grew 2%.
- Uber ended the year with monthly Trips per MAPC of 6.2 in 2025.
- Uber added more first-time users over the past twelve months than in any period over the past five years, according to CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
- 40% of Uber customers are now using multiple products, as of Q4 2025.
- Consumers who used both Mobility and Delivery generated over three times the Gross Bookings of single-offering consumers in Q4 2025.
- Only approximately one in five eligible consumers are active monthly across both businesses.
How Many Trips Does Uber Complete?
- Q2 2026 trips averaged roughly 42.5 million per day across the quarter.
- Uber has logged more than 79 billion trips since it started in 2010, according to the company.
- Trip growth ran at 22% in Q3 2025 and 22% in Q4 2025 before easing to 18% in Q2 2026.
- The 2-point moderation in YoY Trips growth was entirely attributable to Brazil, Uber’s highest-volume market globally.
Sharing-economy peers report on different units: Airbnb’s booking statistics count stays rather than trips.
How Many Uber Drivers Are There?
- Drivers and couriers earned over $25 billion on the platform in Q2 2026, up from more than $24 billion in Q4 2025 and roughly $22 billion in Q3 2025.
- Active drivers reached another record, absorbing significant demand spikes during the World Cup in Q2 2026.
- Uber observed some supply softness in Brazil, particularly in lower-cost products such as Moto, amid elevated competition for two-wheel drivers from delivery platforms.
- Uber had roughly 285 drivers and couriers for every employee at the end of 2025.
The per-earner average matters more than the headcount for anyone comparing platform work with the wider gig economy, because a count of 10.2 million says nothing about hours worked.
How Much Do Uber Drivers Make?
- Uber drivers grossed $23.88 per hour in 2025, up from $23.66 in 2024, on averages rather than medians, according to Gridwise.
- Bonuses and promotions add $0.74 above trip pay at the median.
- Gridwise’s dataset covers real 2025 earnings from more than 500,000 drivers.
| Gridwise measure (2025) | Hourly pay ($) |
|---|---|
| Median trip pay | 21.18 |
| Median gross pay (with bonuses) | 21.92 |
| Top 25% of drivers | 24.68 or more |
| Top 10% of drivers | 29.28 or more |

Earnings are gross, not take-home: Gridwise’s figures are before gas, insurance, and vehicle costs.
Can You Make $1,000 a Day With Uber?
Not at typical rates. At the median gross pay of $21.92 per hour, a $1,000 day would take about 45.6 hours of driving. A 40-hour week at that median grosses about $876.80, and even the top 10% earn $29.28 or more per hour.
How Many Employees Does Uber Have?
- Uber’s staff support operations in over 70 countries and more than 15,000 cities around the world.
- Headcount rose about 9.3% during 2025.
- Uber says it continues to moderate hiring relative to its original plans for the year, driven in part by AI-related productivity gains.
That puts Uber among the employers linking slower hiring to AI efficiency, a pattern tracked in our AI job loss statistics. Readers comparing corporate headcounts can set these figures against Tesla’s workforce data.

| December 31, 2024 | 31,100 |

Uber Revenue by Country and Region
- UK revenue equaled about 44.6% of the US total in 2025.
- EMEA revenue rose about 30.6% in 2025, against about 12.1% for the US and Canada.
- The UK business model change reduced Q2 2026 revenue by $1.1 billion, an ~8-point headwind to YoY growth.
- The change moves driver payment costs from cost of revenue to contra-revenue and has no impact on underlying economics.
Worth noting: The impact on the Mobility revenue margin was roughly 400 bps in Q2, and Uber expects this accounting headwind to persist at roughly the same magnitude for the remainder of 2026. Reported revenue growth for Mobility understates volume growth until the change laps.
Uber Mobility Segment Statistics
- Mobility segment operating income margin reached 7.6% in Q2 2026.
- Gross Bookings grew more than 40% YoY for Uber for Business, and premium business trips generate nearly 2x the Gross Bookings and 4x the contribution profit per trip compared to UberX.
- Uber is launching 100+ new cities, with suburban and sparser markets growing ~1.5x faster than denser markets.
- An average Uber Black trip costs a rider over 15x more than an average Moto trip globally.
- More than 35% of Mobility Gross Bookings in the U.S. are now coming from Uber One members, as of Q4 2025.
Uber Eats and Delivery Statistics
- Delivery Gross Bookings accelerated to 25% YoY, while segment operating income margin reached another record of 3.8%.
- Australia, the UK, and Mexico led growth internationally in Q2 2026.
- Approximately 58% of first-time Delivery consumers were new to Uber’s platform in Q4 2025.
- Uber partners with over 1.3 million monthly Merchants worldwide.
- Grocery & Retail selection added new partnerships including Decathlon, GameStop, Tesco and Ulta Beauty.
| Segment | Q2 2025 operating income ($ millions) | Q2 2026 operating income ($ millions) |
|---|---|---|
| Mobility | 1,729 | 2,215 |
| Delivery | 766 | 1,055 |
| Freight | (26) | (24) |
| Corporate G&A and Platform R&D | (935) | (1,103) |

What Does the Delivery Hero Deal Add?
The takeover would give Uber combined pro-forma Gross Bookings of $236 billion in 2025. Delivery Hero has separately agreed to sell part of its business covering 14 markets to SSW Partners.
Uber One Membership and Advertising Statistics
- Uber One is available in over 30 countries, against operations in over 70 countries.
- Members now drive half of Uber’s Gross Bookings across Mobility and Delivery.
- Uber One International Benefits, Travel Pass, and Game Day Offers helped consumers save approximately $300 million during the World Cup.
- In Q4 2025, advertising generated well over $2 billion in annualized revenue, up over 50% YoY.
- Delivery advertising crossed 2% of Delivery Gross Bookings.
- Advertising growth broadened across enterprise brands, Grocery & Retail, and Mobility formats.
Why it matters: The incremental engagement and retention generated by members continue to produce attractive returns, according to Uber. A membership that drives half of Gross Bookings gives Uber a loyalty base rivals have to discount against, the same ecosystem lock-in pattern our consumer loyalty coverage tracks across Apple and gaming platforms.
Uber Autonomous Vehicle Statistics
- Uber partnered with more than 25 companies across Mobility, Delivery, and Freight in 2025.
- Live AV deployments reached seven cities for Mobility and 15 for Delivery, per the 2026 proxy statement.
- New deployments across Europe with Autobrains and WeRide, and advanced partnerships with Nuro, Wayve, and Zoox, were announced in Q2 2026.
- AV Labs is deploying hundreds of sensor-equipped vehicles capable of collecting millions of miles of high-fidelity driving data each month.
Uber is betting on aggregating other companies’ vehicles rather than building its own, which makes its partner count as important as any single fleet in the wider robotaxi market. Carmakers pursuing their own autonomy programs, tracked in our Tesla statistics, are the alternative model.
By the numbers: Uber expects to commit over $10 billion of capital over the coming years to bring AVs to market at scale, and partners have now committed approximately 120,000 vehicles to the Uber network. Set against more than ten million human drivers and couriers, that pipeline keeps AVs an add-on to the human network for now.
| AV metric (Q2 2026) | Value |
|---|---|
| Cities with AVs live on Uber | 7 |
| Target cities by year-end | as many as 15 |
| Vehicles committed by partners | approximately 120,000 |
| Planned capital commitment | over $10 billion |

Is Uber Profitable? Uber Profit and Cash Flow Statistics
- In Q3 2025, net income attributable to Uber was $6.6 billion, which includes a $4.9 billion benefit from a tax valuation release.
- In Q4 2025, GAAP net income was $296 million, which includes a $1.6 billion net headwind (pre-tax) from revaluations of Uber’s equity investments.
- Investments were marked at $12.5 billion, including equity method investments, at the end of Q2 2026.
- Diluted share count declined approximately 4% YoY, with roughly $16 billion remaining under the current authorization.
Is Uber Making or Losing Money?
Uber is making money. It generated more than $10 billion of trailing twelve-month free cash flow through Q2 2026, and GAAP Income from operations grew 30% YoY to $1.9 billion in Q2 2026. Quarterly net income swings with the value of Uber’s equity stakes, so free cash flow is the steadier profit signal.
Uber vs Lyft Statistics
- Lyft’s Adjusted EBITDA rose 37% year over year to $177.2 million in Q2 2026, against Uber’s Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 billion, up 33%.
- Lyft’s net income was up 25% year over year to $50.3 million.
- Uber’s Q2 2026 Gross Bookings were about 10.5 times Lyft’s.
| Q2 2026 metric | Uber | Lyft |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Bookings | $58.0 billion | $5.5 billion |
| Revenue | $14.2 billion | $1.8 billion |
| Gross Bookings growth (YoY) | 24% | 23% |
| Users | 208 million MAPCs | over 30 million Active Riders |

Who Is Bigger, Lyft or Uber?
Uber is far bigger. Uber’s Gross Bookings grew 24% YoY to $58.0 billion in Q2 2026, while Lyft reported Gross Bookings of $5.5 billion, up 23% year over year. The two grew at nearly the same rate, so Uber’s lead is holding rather than widening.
Conclusion
Uber closed its latest quarter with $58.0 billion in Gross Bookings and 208 million monthly active platform consumers, and its filings show where that growth sits. Delivery is closing on Mobility, Uber One members drive half of bookings, and the UK carries a fifth of revenue. Riders get more product tiers, drivers get more demand but modest per-person earnings, and investors get cash flow that now tops $10 billion a year.
For the current quarter, Uber anticipates Gross Bookings of $58.25 billion to $60.25 billion. The Delivery Hero close and the pace of AV launches will decide whether the next leg of growth comes from new markets, new vehicles, or both.
