Uber launches first burst of Uber Travel ahead of the festive season

Uber is excited to announce its latest innovative travel feature, Smart Itineraries, which is one of the features within the Uber Travel suite of offerings  that has launched globally. With the World Cup in Qatar in full swing and one of the busiest travel seasons upon us, Uber decided to expand its services to accommodate many of those increasing travel needs.

The feature allows consumers to connect their Gmail or Microsoft itineraries to the Uber app, where they’ll be able to coordinate rides, flights, and hotel and restaurant reservations.

Riders will earn 10% back in Uber Cash every time they book a Reserve ride with Uber Travel*, which means they can plan ahead and earn Uber Cash. Once riders connect to their Gmail or Microsoft account, Uber will do the rest, organising all reservation needs in one place for stress-free travel.

Mpho Sebelebe, Uber’s Head of Communications for South Africa explains, “We’re excited to introduce this new feature and enhanced offering to help you go anywhere with a little help from Uber. Uber Travel forms an integral part of Uber’s vision of being a one-stop shop for door-to-door travel”.

“We’re all going and getting this time of year, and this new and refreshed consumer experience is designed to make big moments like the World Cup and holidays a little less manic and a little more magical.”
