Why it's helpful

Sometimes you want to give your driver a little extra detail ahead of the pickup. Now it’s even easier to share a tip (‘I’m wearing a red jacket’) or send your driver a quick pre-written message like ‘I'm out front’ with a single tap, right within the app.

We designed Pickup Messages to encourage safe driving, too. Drivers can have the messages read aloud, and they can simply tap to respond.
