Uber and Lyft are imposing fuel surcharges on riders due to rising gas prices.

• The company announced Monday that it is temporarily increasing its ride fares to assist drivers in managing the rising cost of gasoline.
• Lyft announced that the fees will be allocated to drivers, who are responsible for refueling their own vehicles.
• Uber announced a surcharge on fares and deliveries in the U.S. and Canada for at least two months, and Lyft has followed suit.

The company announced on Monday that it is temporarily increasing its ride fares to assist drivers in managing the rising gas costs.

Lyft announced that the fees will be given to drivers, who are responsible for refueling their own vehicles. The company did not disclose the exact amount that riders will have to pay. However, rideshare drivers are unhappy with the increasing gas prices, which reduce their earnings. Some have urged Uber and Lyft to alleviate the situation, while others have threatened to resign.

The escalating gas prices nationwide are a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with the national average for a gallon of gas on Monday reaching $4.325, an increase of $1.466 from the same time last year when the average was $2.859.

Lyft has announced that it will follow Uber's lead and add a surcharge on fares and deliveries in the U.S. and Canada for at least two months.

Uber trips will cost riders between $0.45 and $0.55, while Uber Eats deliveries will have a surcharge of $0.35 to $0.45.

Uber stated on Friday that there has been no decline in drivers over the past two months.
