Prepaid Mode Is Now Available Nationwide and Allows You to Buy Packages at Fixed Price Per Ride

The new feature from Uber that previously operated in only 34 Brazilian cities has just been released for users across the entire country. The so-called Prepaid Mode, which allows users to purchase travel packages with a fixed price per route, is now a national option for those seeking more financial control and cost predictability.

According to information from the portal FDR, the new system enables the advance purchase of 5, 10, 15, or 20 rides with a locked fare, without worrying about changes in traffic or fluctuations in demand prices. The function was tested in capitals such as Salvador, Porto Alegre, Recife, Belo Horizonte, and Curitiba, and is now available to users in any city with active Uber service.

What Is Uber’s Prepaid Mode?

In Prepaid Mode, users can pay in advance for a package of specific rides, all with a pre-established price. The major advantage is knowing exactly how much will be charged, regardless of the time, traffic, or external conditions, which avoids unpleasant surprises in the final fare.

In Which Cities Was the Feature Already Available?

The system was tested in 34 Brazilian cities, including Aracaju, Belém, Belo Horizonte, Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Fortaleza, Goiânia, João Pessoa, Maceió, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador, São Luís, Teresina, Vitória, and several cities in São Paulo, such as Campinas, Sorocaba, and Ribeirão Preto.

Now, with the national release, any user in Brazil can access Prepaid Mode directly through the Uber app with just a few taps:

Open the app;
Access the “Rides” menu;
Select “Fixed Price” or “Prepaid”;
Choose the route, number of rides, and complete the digital payment.

Why Could This Change Benefit Users?

The main advantage is budget control. For those who frequently use Uber, especially for commuting to work, studying, or performing fixed activities, this model brings more security and stability to monthly expenses.

Additionally, the system prevents unexpected price increases during peak times or on days with heavy traffic. It’s a practical and straightforward alternative for those looking to avoid the price fluctuations that often frustrate app transportation users.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Why intelligent life may be extremely unlikely in the universe? Physics, evolution, and statistics challenge one of humanity’s greatest beliefs.

A mother who worked as a recycler took money from her own food to put credit on her daughter’s broken-screen cell phone; now Débora has been accepted into medical school at two universities and wants to save hearts in the operating room.

The government opens the budget to pay pensions and ends up targeting precisely the FAB’s Gripen fighter jet; the reason for the R$ 800 million block reveals a fragility that has haunted the country’s defense projects for decades.

A property that once had more than 1,000 hectares now operates with 73 hectares and invests in coffee, cattle, photovoltaic energy, and hydroponic corn to prove that a small farm can also be profitable.

A potato-shaped object over a mountain and orbs multiplying in the sky are among the 72 new files from the Department of Defense that do not prove extraterrestrial life.
