At Uber, we are always innovating to come up with mobility solutions that serve the changing needs of our communities. Uber Rentals is one such product that we launched in June 2020 amidst the pandemic because we knew our riders would have new use cases and different needs, one of which is being able to book affordable multi-hour, multi-stop options to travel in the new normal.  

Today, our Rentals service is available in 39 cities, with most riders using the service to visit friends and family, conduct business meetings and official work. Other use cases include running errands, grocery shopping, visiting a place of worship, along with shifting homes and flat hunting. 

With riders looking for convenient, affordable and safe mobility solutions to go about their daily lives, Uber Rentals allows them the flexibility to book affordable travel options in the new normal. 

The 24×7 on-demand service allows riders to book a car and driver for several hours with freedom of  making multiple stops, as they would do with their own car. This makes running successive errands or attending business appointments a breeze, removing the need to  book multiple trips.  

Johny, Head of South East Asia at Freshworks and a Bangalore resident, said, “Uber Rentals is my preferred mode of transport especially on days when I need to be at multiple places in a single day. We used it very recently when we had to get our vaccine shots. It is so much more convenient and comfortable riding with the same driver for 3-4 hours when we can make multiple stops in the time period, rather than waiting for a cab every time. It is definitely a simpler and hassle free mode of travel.”

With comprehensive safety measures in place, convenient pick-ups, affordable prices and digital payment options at a touch of a button, Uber hopes to offer a seamless product experience in the new car rentals category that riders and drivers enjoy on its other popular products.
