Are Uber and Lyft service fees/commissions already included in the standard mileage deduction, or can I deduct those fees separately?

I am a rideshare driver using the standard mileage deduction. Uber and Lyft report gross income on 1099 and withhold service fees and commissions

No. The IRS standard mileage rate (70 cents per mile for business use in 2025) does not include a component for Uber and Lyft service fees and commissions. You should deduct those fees separately from your mileage deduction.
