Our pick here: Uber pays 50% off 5 trips, verified against its own terms.
Short answer: yes. Uber's new-rider referral takes 50% off each of your first five trips, up to £5 a trip, and the TopReferrals code tz4dcya9ssfp (or https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/uber) puts it on your account.
Where the cap bites
Half of a fare equals £5 at exactly £10, so the referral saves half on anything shorter and a flat £5 on anything longer. On Uber's own London figures, an UberX to Paddington averages £20: £5 off, a quarter of the fare.
What it takes
Add the code before your first trip, through the link on your phone or under Account → Wallet → Add promo code. Uber shows the offer, with its expiry date, in Wallet → Promotions.
After the five trips
Regular riders can move on to Uber One at £4.99 a month for 5% back on rides and 10% on Exec and Lux.
Verdict
Five half-price trips from Uber itself, worth up to £25, are the best start a new rider can get. Figures read on Uber's referral page and UK terms on 3 October 2026.
