The Uber Promo Code, Then and Now
This started as a passenger code, and the same code has historically doubled as a driver signup code too — that’s less true today. Use UBERHOTVALUE as a rider for whatever discount Uber is currently running for new users in your city. Back in 2016 that reliably meant a flat $20 credit on your first ride; these days Uber is more likely to show new riders a percentage off their first ride or two instead, and the exact number depends on where you are. We keep the code live and pointed at Uber’s actual current promotion — we just can’t promise you a specific dollar figure without knowing your market.
If you want to drive rather than ride, that’s now handled through a separate flow: sign up to drive here to see your city’s current guaranteed-earnings offer for new drivers, using code hbx1arsque.
And since there’s no reason to limit yourself to one app, new Lyft drivers can also sign up here to see Lyft’s current city-specific bonus — it’s run through a similar guarantee structure rather than a flat cash number these days too.

My Uber Review
I’ve genuinely loved Uber as a rider since it showed up in LA. Before it, going out for a drink meant either staying sober enough to drive home, gambling on a cab showing up when you called, or booking a ride well in advance. Visiting a friend five miles away during rush hour was its own ordeal. Uber changed that — you open the app, a car shows up in a few minutes, and you can actually have more than one drink without planning your whole night around getting home.
Some drivers are better than others, as you’d expect from any on-demand service, but overall the car quality, wait times, and app itself have stayed genuinely solid in my experience. And when there’s a live promo code like UBERHOTVALUE for your first ride, that’s just a nice bonus on top of a service I’d use anyway.
I’ve also driven for both Uber and Lyft, and the experience from the driver’s seat is a different story — passenger-side pricing that feels great to riders can squeeze what’s left for the driver after gas and wear on the car, and not every passenger treats you well. In my own time driving, Lyft passengers were consistently friendlier than Uber’s, for whatever reason. Worth knowing if you’re deciding which app to drive for, not just which one to ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this page still say “2016”?
It’s just the address. We’d rather keep a working link than break it renaming the page every year — the code and details here are checked and kept current.
What’s the Uber promo code?
UBERHOTVALUE. Use it as a new rider, or sign up through our link to have it applied automatically.
Is it still worth $20 off?
Not guaranteed. Uber’s evergreen flat-dollar new-rider credit isn’t standard anymore in most markets — you’re more likely to see a percentage off your first ride or two, shown to you at signup.
Can I use the same code to sign up as a driver?
Not anymore — driver signup runs through a separate code, hbx1arsque, tied to a city-specific earnings guarantee rather than the rider promo.
