Uber has notified some of its drivers in Philadelphia that the luxury ride option UberBlack will be replaced by UberPremium, which will provide more drivers with a chance for bigger earnings, writes Thomas Fitzgerald for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Uber has sent emails to hundreds of its Philadelphia drivers informing them about the replacement.

Around two percent of working Uber drivers in the area who pick up passengers for UberX, the most commonly requested service, will soon be eligible to provide premium rides starting in March.

UberPremium trips cost more and provide the driver with the potential for higher pay.

“Given the make and model of your current vehicle, we believe you will be eligible to accept trips through this ride option” without changes to the drivers’ license or insurance,” the email reads.

Previously, drivers offering the premium service used UberBlack cars and SUVs designated as limousines. That required them to display commercial plates and have commercial vehicle insurance, costing as much as $380 a month.

The change to UberPremium means some regular Uber drivers will now be able to offer the premium service without having to pay those commercial insurance fees.
