Uber Reserve lands at UK airports
Uber is introducing the Uber Reserve service at several major airports in the UK.
It enables airport travellers to reserve an Uber up to 90 days in advance for a pick-up at London Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester airports.
The launch follows the introduction of flight booking on the Uber app, which was announced in May.
The service enables live flight tracking within the Uber App and automatically adjusting driver arrival time where needed.
Uber Reserve will also extend driver wait times at airports to 60 minutes.
Uber Reserve usage has grown 120% in the past year to September 2023, the company says.
Uber journeys to airports are up by 37% in Q3 2023.
The Uber App’s ‘directions to pick up’ feature assists riders with user-friendly maps and guides at major airports.
As well as in-app flight bookings, Uber offers Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, train journeys across the National Rail network, Eurostar and coach travel with National Express and megabus.
Andrew Brem, GM at Uber UK said “We know that Uber Reserve is an incredibly popular and trustworthy feature.”
“This new offering will help create that same seamless experience for travellers arriving back in the UK.”
