Rides vs Uber Eats, by the numbers

The two businesses share one app, one account and one network of drivers and couriers, but their economics differ. Rides keep a larger share of each booking (about 25% in Q2 2026) than delivery (about 19%), because delivery has to pay couriers and also share value with restaurants.

Profit follows: Mobility earned $2,215 million of segment operating income in Q2 2026, Delivery $1,055 million. As a share of bookings, that is about 7.6% for rides and 3.8% for delivery.

Delivery’s advantage is growth and frequency: groceries, retail and advertising widen what it can sell, and people who use both services use Uber more often. More: take rates compared, bookings compared.

Earlier figures and background

In 2023, the Uber mobility platform nearly generated $20 billion in revenue, compared to $12.2 billion from the delivery platform.

The delivery platform had become instrumental during the pandemic years. Yet, by 2023, the mobility platform is again the core of the Uber Business Model.
