Uber Travel, the new app feature for trip planning

By connecting to Google or Microsoft email accounts, Uber Travel organizes mobility related to upcoming hotel, flight, and restaurant reservations in your calendar, allowing you to easily and quickly book rides for your entire itinerary. In case of flight delays or cancellations compared to the pickup time, Uber Travel will update the route accordingly and automatically notify the assigned driver of the delay. Furthermore, every ride booked through Travel earns 10% of the ride value back in Uber Cash to spend on the Uber app for a new booking via Reserve.

“Uber Travel is part of the company’s broader vision to improve how people move every day in our cities. Today, this feature provides a unique experience, allowing people to plan their trips in advance without additional effort or stress, even in case of flight delays” commented Lorenzo Pireddu, General Manager of Uber Italia.

About Uber

Uber’s mission is to create opportunity through movement. We started in 2010 by solving a simple problem: how can you get from A to B at the touch of a button? More than 36 billion trips later, we continue to work on products that achieve the same goal of bringing people where they want to go. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.
