Uber has introduced a new feature to reserve rides in advance from other cities. The new feature is aimed at simplifying the travel planning process for its riders. This innovation allows users to search for and select destinations in a different city, providing them with the convenience of planning their transportation needs ahead of time.
With this feature, Uber has made it possible for travelers to reserve rides in advance, ensuring they have a car waiting for them upon arrival. This advance booking capability is designed to enhance the overall travel experience, giving users peace of mind and a seamless transition from their flight to their final destination.
Uber’s latest feature caters to the increase in summer travel, aiming to simplify transportation planning for travelers well before they reach their destination. The company notes that this feature has been highly requested by riders for a long time. By allowing travelers to arrange their transportation in advance, Uber is responding to this demand and enhancing the overall travel experience for its users.
Users can now plan rides by selecting the “Search in a different city” option and entering their intended destination. This feature is especially beneficial for travelers who can reserve a pickup time at a future location. The reserve function allows users to book rides for the same day or up to 90 days in advance. Uber also offers estimated wait times and fare estimates for rides from local airports and within different cities.
The new feature is accessible in over 10,000 cities, including popular destinations like Athens, Buenos Aires, Dublin, Florence, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Santo Domingo, Sydney, Tokyo, and Vancouver, among many others.
Uber introduced this feature along with several other offerings, including a partnership with Flying Blue, enabling members to earn miles, expanded reservations for the “Uber Bubbles” product allowing visitors in Paris to book champagne tours, and a complimentary one-hour cruise experience in Pont Marie.
