Uber is testing a new subscription service in San Francisco and Chicago that gives customers discounts on cab rides, free JUMP bike and scooter rides, and free Uber Eats delivery, according to a new report from TechCrunch. The subscription reportedly costs $24.99 a month.
In a statement to Business Insider, a spokesperson for Uber said that it is "always looking for ways to make Uber the go-to option for your everyday needs," but would not provide more details on the pilot.
Business Insider understands there are no plans to extend the current pilot to other cities just yet.
This is the first time that Uber has offered a subscription that combines all of its consumer services, and it could help customers to become more brand loyal overall. The idea is that if you're only using its cab-hailing service at present, the membership will incentivize you to use its other services over competitors.
It already has a subscription service in place for its core cab-hailing business - Ride Pass. This launched last October and allows users to guarantee set prices on cabs for a monthly fee.
Uber isn't the only transportation company to be testing these subscription models, however. Its main competitor in the US, Lyft, launched a similar service last year - its All-Access Plan which costs $299 a month and gives users 30 rides worth up to $15 each. If a ride costs more than $15, the user pays the difference.
