UberSELECT: A Step Above The Everyday [Q&A]

With UberSELECT, you get a premium vehicle driven by professional drivers.  #Upgrade

UberSELECT is your best choice for a bit of luxury added to your everyday rides. Fares for UberBLACK remain the same, with first-class service from start to finish the highest rated drivers and with the newest, high-end premium sedans.

For the time being, we’ve suspended uberX until we are confident that we can create a reliable product with the appropriate vehicle mix at the right price point.

We are confident that our pricing has remained highly competitive among other private car apps

The minor increase in price is a reflection of the high quality of service we are bringing to riders in Dubai.  We strive to deliver the most efficient product in the market, to do this we have to ensure we can attract Partners and drivers to the platform to increase supply and ensure there is a car available wherever and whenever you need one. The difference in pricing between uberX and UberSELECT is modest, but it goes a long way to ensuring the economics work for the everyone using the platform.

At Uber, we work hard to bring you the most safe and reliable ride, at the most affordable price possible. In Dubai, regulations require our fares be 30% higher than taxi fares.

UberSELECT allows us to increase the number of drivers using the platform, which means more cars online, lower ETA’s and less surge. #YesPlease
