Uber expands ‘Reserve’ rides to six more cities in India, adds cash payment option
New Delhi: Ride-hailing app Uber today announced the expansion of ‘Reserve’ across six more cities in India, providing riders across the option to pre-book their rides 30 minutes to 90 days ahead of their travel, the company said in a statement.
‘Uber Reserve’ will now be available for cash payments offering riders access to reliable, pre-booked rides.
The service is now live across 13 cities in India – Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Guwahati.
“With the ‘Reserve’ option in addition to on-demand trips, drivers can select from offers that are best suited for their time on the road. ‘Uber Reserve’ provides the drivers an added option of accepting trips up to 7 days ahead - helping them lock in their earnings and driving schedule in advance,” the statement said.
Reserve now appears as a new option in the latest version of the Uber app and is available on Uber Premier, Uber Intercity, Uber Rentals and Uber XL.
The new product is developed keeping in mind pre-planned travel needs, including work trips, airport drops, visits to the doctor, and other scheduled appointments.
The planned ride options will be available at various attractive price points across product categories.
Uber India & South Asia President Prabhjeet Singh said, “With Reserve, riders can pre-book their rides ensuring peace of mind, certainty and added control over their trip. Reserve also opens up even more options for drivers to choose from between on-demand and pre-booked trips.”
With comprehensive safety measures in place, convenient pick-ups, affordable prices and digital payment options at a touch of a button, Uber hopes to offer a seamless product experience in the new category that riders and drivers enjoy on its other popular products.
