Uber Expands Standard Benefits for "Uber for Business" Corporate Service, Offers 12 Months Free "Uber One" (Annual Fee 3,998 Yen) to Employees of Adopting Companies

Uber Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Uber Japan) announced on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, a significant expansion of the standard benefits for its corporate service, "Uber for Business." Employees of adopting companies will be offered a 12-month free subscription to "Uber One," a subscription service with a regular annual fee of 3,998 yen (tax included), as a standard benefit. Through this measure, employees can link their personal Uber or Uber Eats app accounts with their company's business profile and register for this offer directly within the app. This allows them to enjoy all "Uber One" benefits for one year free of charge, not only for business use but also for private use, including a 10% rebate on taxi fares and free delivery fees for food delivery*1. Currently, food and energy prices continue to rise in Japan, and companies are being asked to implement flexible measures to "support employees' livelihoods" and "improve engagement" beyond just wage increases. On the other hand, the administrative burden of managing welfare benefits and expense claims can be a challenge, sometimes creating hurdles for introduction and operation. Uber Japan has now made this benefit a "standard feature," eliminating any additional costs or administrative procedures for companies. In an era of rising prices and inflation, this provides "practical livelihood support" that directly reduces employees' private expenses for meals and transportation. Simultaneously, by strongly encouraging linkage to business accounts, it supports the digitization of corporate expense management and the strengthening of welfare benefits. 1. Zero additional cost and operational burden for companies No new contract procedures or minimum usage amount conditions. If an individual chooses to continue using Uber One after the free period, the cost will be borne by the individual, eliminating the need for companies to bear costs or handle renewals/cancellations on the management screen. 2. Powerful benefits applicable even for private use Point rewards for rides, priority matching with highly-rated drivers, and delivery from eligible restaurants. All Uber One benefits, such as 0 yen delivery fees*1, can be used for one year free of charge, not only for business use but also for personal use. 3. Seamless design that also targets existing individual members Employees who already have a personal Uber One subscription are also eligible. Even if an individual currently has a subscription, prior cancellation is not required. By registering for this benefit, the 12-month free period can begin from the time their current contract period (next monthly renewal date or annual expiration date) ends. 4. Existing domestic adopting companies are also eligible Not only newly adopting companies but also currently using companies are eligible*2. (Excluding some companies, such as those that have adopted Uber for Business globally). *1: Free delivery fees are subject to certain conditions. *2: Some companies that have adopted Uber for Business globally, or employees who have previously used various Uber One membership benefits provided by Uber for Business (not through a personal subscription), are not eligible for this 12-month free benefit. Yuji Fukano, Country Manager for Uber for Business, commented as follows: "The standardization of this 12-month free Uber One offer marks a significant evolution in Uber for Business's strategy in Japan. In countries like the U.S., where this program was rolled out earlier, we have seen remarkable results, with this flexible benefit, which can be used daily across both business and private spheres, significantly boosting employee engagement and satisfaction with welfare benefits. Based on this solid data, we have decided to standardize this initiative in Japan, where people are facing rising prices, to increase employees' 'effective take-home pay' with zero burden on companies. As an infrastructure for welfare benefits, we will strongly support the DX and engagement improvement of Japanese companies." Uber Japan will continue to contribute to the realization of richer working styles in Japan by seamlessly connecting the convenience of "mobility" and "food" through the provision of Uber for Business, serving as an indispensable social infrastructure that supports the daily lives of business people. 【About Uber for Business】 Uber for Business is a corporate business support solution adopted by over 170,000 companies in 70 countries worldwide.
