Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick started UberCab in 2009 in San Francisco, and the company spent a decade in regulatory and labor fights over whether drivers are contractors. Three businesses now matter: Mobility for rides, Delivery built on the Eats acquisition and expansion, and Freight for trucking logistics. Dara Khosrowshahi replaced Kalanick as chief executive in 2017 after a governance crisis. The 2019 listing was among the largest of that year, and the company reached sustained operating profitability in 2023 and 2024 after exiting several loss-making regions.

Equity comp at Uber
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the UBER position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current UBER option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Uber equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge UBER stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and UBER's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current UBER option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Uber grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Uber typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Uber RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Uber restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
