Uber to introduce cash payments for riders across New Zealand

Blake Turner2026-07-08T17:12:00.000Z

Great, now I can pay my driver in gold coins like a true ancient kiwi

NZ Herald2026-07-08T17:56:00.000Z

nah it's for people who don't want their location tracked on card statements... paranoid much?

NZ Herald2026-07-08T18:01:00.000Z

watch them add a 'cash handling fee' of $5. classic Uber

Jamie Fox2026-07-08T18:15:00.000Z

already have enough fees, this will just be another excuse to nickel and dime

Grace Patel2026-07-08T18:10:00.000Z

How about they sort out driver wages before playing with payment methods?

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T19:01:00.000Z

Facts. But they don't care as long as the share price goes up

My mum's gonna love this, she still thinks eftpos is witchcraft 😂

Why would anyone carry cash in 2026? Next they'll do cheques

Jordan Bell2026-07-08T19:41:00.000Z

my granddad still writes cheques lol

Hana Stewart2026-07-08T19:12:00.000Z

As a driver, this is gonna be a nightmare. More risk, more hassle for minimum pay

Reese Morgan2026-07-08T19:46:00.000Z

working for Uber and complaining about their business model, get real

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T19:35:00.000Z

Watch the cash get 'lost' and drivers cop the blame. Standard corporate move

Hana Stewart2026-07-08T20:24:00.000Z

Exactly. Bunch of clipboard warriors making life harder for actual workers

Reese Morgan2026-07-08T19:55:00.000Z

ffs just use your card like a normal person

Blake Turner2026-07-08T20:03:00.000Z

Bet this is just for people who can't pass the credit check lol

Grace Patel2026-07-08T20:18:00.000Z

everyone has a choice mate. Some people just need to get to work
