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.
