Thanks a million, Iowa!

We are proud to be celebrating our 1 millionth trip in Iowa, a milestone achieved in just two years since our launch.  

To say thank you, this Tuesday, August 9th, rides in Iowa and the Quad Cities will be 50% off* with code:

Since launching in Des Moines, Iowa in September, 2014, riders have taken us on trips at all hours and for all different reasons.  Whether it was a ride home from a late night out, an early morning commute or even a quick trip to the grocery store, it didn’t take long for Iowans to embrace the availability of safe, reliable and affordable rides at the touch of a button.

After launching in Des Moines, Uber expanded to 4 other cities in Iowa: Quad Cities, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and Ames. In these cities there have been visitors from 40 countries including India, Brazil, Singapore and many more. Riders in each of these cities enjoy the convenience of short ETAs that are on average, under 7 minutes.  The expansion to these cities have helped us hit this exciting milestone. 

We look forward to continuing to bring the Uber magic to new cities throughout Iowa. Thanks for the first million trips and here’s to a million more!
