What Uber - Request a ride covers
Uber - Request a ride is the rider app from Uber Technologies, Inc. for booking car journeys on demand. The same app also covers food and parcel delivery, car hire and business travel, according to the developer's listing.
The listing presents the app for everyday trips, such as errands across town, and for travel in new cities. It suits people who need a ride at short notice and people who want to plan a journey ahead.
A rider chooses a vehicle type, enters a destination and sees the price and estimated arrival time before confirming. The listing names options from a single-rider UberX up to Uber Charter group vehicles seating 14 to 55 passengers.
Choosing a vehicle type for the trip
UberX is listed as an affordable option for one rider. UberXL is for groups of up to six. Comfort is described as newer cars with extra legroom, and Comfort Electric as premium zero-emission cars.
Electric is listed as an eco-friendly option, and UberX Priority as priority pickup. Uber Pet is for riders travelling with a pet. Black and Premier are both listed as luxury rides, with Black pairing professional drivers and Premier highly rated drivers.
2-wheels lets a rider find a scooter and start riding. It sits in the same app as the car options.
Upfront pricing, shared rides and Uber One
Once a destination is entered, the app shows the price and an estimated time of arrival before the ride is booked. The listing calls this upfront pricing.
Three shared options are listed. UberX Share connects riders heading the same way. Group Rides lets friends travel together. Split Fare divides the cost between riders while the trip is still under way.
Uber One is a membership with perks. The listing gives a $0 delivery fee, up to 10% off eligible delivery and pickup orders, and 6% Uber Cash back on eligible rides. It says other fees and terms apply, and points to uber.com/uberone for details.
Booking rides in advance and renting cars
Riders can reserve a ride for a set time. This suits trips that need to begin at a fixed hour rather than when a car happens to be free.
Rent Cars covers booking a car for today or a later date. The listing says the online booking and vehicle selection are meant to help find a vehicle for a family holiday, a weekend away, airport travel and errands.
Uber Hourly keeps a car and driver with the rider for a set number of hours. The listing gives no further detail on how hours are priced.
Delivery, parcels and business travel
Uber Eats lets users order food from restaurants, and groceries, pharmacy, convenience and pet supplies from the same app. The listing says these orders are delivered to the user.
Uber Connect is a same-day, no-contact delivery service for sending items. The listing gives a care package and an item sold online as examples.
Uber for Business manages and tracks business travel and meal programmes on one dashboard. Uber Charter books group rides in vehicles seating 14 to 55 passengers, such as limo buses and coach buses.
Transit, child seats, calls and safety
Transit is described as a way to avoid timetables, transfers and waits, while reducing a trip's emissions. Uber Car Seat provides one forward-facing car seat for a child who is at least 2 years old, 22 pounds and 31 inches tall.
VoIP calling lets riders and drivers call each other during a trip, so that important calls are seen and not missed. The listing says messages may be machine or human translated depending on device settings, and that accuracy is not guaranteed.
The developer says it has established comprehensive safety features for riders and drivers. The listing does not name them.
