The Uber TAG is nothing more than a device that allows the charging system to work in different places. For example, on urban highways and federal highways through moving toll technology.
Now, in principle, when the UBER partner driver registered, he had to add it together with his vehicle. Thus, in this way, the UBER company can reimburse said money to the driver after the first 15 trips.
This device called TAG contains all the information necessary to identify the owner and the vehicle. Allowing the collection of tolls through this device to be done electronically through the readers installed in each booth.
Now, we will give you a series of tips and very useful information that you should always keep in mind as a driver partner of UBER.
General Uber TAG Tips
- TAG payments have become particularly popular due to their necessary use on urban highways. Therefore, the UBER TAG is nothing more than the TAG registered by the driver. Which is associated with the vehicle also registered with UBER.
- However, it is clear to note that this is only for the first 15 trips made by the driver for the company.
- After these 15 trips, UBER will give you a TAG which will be self-recharging and you will not have to worry about recharging it. The payment will be made directly to the user at the end of the trip.
- Don’t worry, UBER will reimburse you for these first 15 trips made.
- Any charge on your TAG outside the established route in UBER trips, the company will recharge your account.
-
Once you enter the TAG program, UBER will send you a mandate and payment authorization letter in your application. Later, you will have to accept it to complete your registration. If you have any questions, you should go to their web help center or any UBER activation center.
How does the TAG work and what will you see on your Uber receipt?
As we mentioned before, you will no longer have to worry about a lack of balance or refunds. You can always use the TAG on the trips you make using the UBER application, within the city, but how does it work?
- The TAG will be linked to your vehicle, not to your member account as a UBER driver. In case you have to change cars, you must contact support to update the registered TAG to the new car you will be driving.
- It should be noted that if you use the TAG on a UBER trip with another vehicle, your receipt may present discounts for unrecognized crossings.
- If your TAG is a fixed stamp type, you need to change it for a portable one. This way you can remove it from your car when you make personal trips and it does not affect your satisfactory statistics in UBER.
- You should always consider that each week you will see two amounts in the promotions and other payments section of your receipt as a partner driver. There will be a positive amount that corresponds to all the crossings you made in the week related to trips in the APP and a deduction of the same amount. Both amounts will add up to zero, which means your winnings will not be affected.
What happens if I have my TAG linked to my personal card?
- There is no problem, you will be able to use that TAG for the UBER program without you having to do anything additional. You just have to consider that, once that TAG is enabled for your trips with UBER, you will no longer be able to domicile it to your personal card again.
- After the first 15 trips made, you can go to the UBER service centers. Here you will be assigned a new rechargeable TAG to use exclusively on the trips you make with the UBER APP.
- If for any reason you lose your TAG, you can also go to the UBER service centers in your city and request your new TAG. The cost of the new TAG will be linked to the policies of each country and the UBER company.
