Uber’s new features to make rides more affordable, accessible and elevated
Written byUber is introducing new features designed to make every Uber ride – whether it’s to work, the airport, or across town – better suited to your needs.
Built from direct rider feedback, these updates give you more control over price, comfort, and convenience. They’re made for how India moves today: thoughtfully, flexibly, and on your terms. The rollout including features like Price Lock, Wait & Save, Simple Mode for Seniors, Airport Priority Access reflect Uber’s commitment to up level the everyday mobility experience.
Here’s what’s new:
Affordable
Wait & Save: Pay less if you’re willing to wait a little longer. This smart fare option is now live in 10+ cities for riders who prioritize value over speed.
Price Lock (coming soon): Lock in fares on your most frequent routes. Pay a small upfront fee and ride worry-free even during peak traffic.
Metro Tickets: Book metro rides directly in the Uber app. No app switching, no queuing for tickets – just tap, ride, and go. Live in Delhi and rolling out soon in Chennai and Mumbai.
Accessible
Uber for Seniors: A simpler app experience being rolled out later this month, with large buttons and fewer steps, designed to empower older adults to ride independently without the tech overwhelm.
Courier XL: Move big stuff – furniture, appliances, bulk goods up to 750 kg. Available in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, it’s perfect for personal and business deliveries.
Uber Pet: Bring your dog or cat along with zero surprises. On-demand or reserve-only rides with drivers who know you’re traveling with a pet, now live in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
Elevated
Airport Priority Access: Walk straight from baggage claim to your waiting ride. Our smoothest airport pickup yet, live in Pune and Hyderabad, with Mumbai and Noida up next.
Uber XL Plus: Guaranteed bigger vehicles like Toyota Innova – ideal for groups, luggage, or when you just want more room to stretch out. Now in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
We’re building these features to meet you where you are and to make everyday travel more flexible, inclusive, and effortless. Because your ride should work for you, not the other way around.
