Uber is launching Uber Reserve for airport travellers to reserve an Uber up to 90 days in advance to pick them up at London Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester airports. The launch follows the introduction of flight booking on the Uber app, which was announced in May.
The new product has been designed with airport usage in mind, allowing for flight tracking to be shown live within the Uber App, automatically adjusting driver arrival time where needed. Uber Reserve will also extend driver wait times at airports to 60 minutes.
Flights on Uber joined existing transport options including Uber Rides, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, train journeys across the National Rail network, Eurostar and coach travel with National Express and megabus.
Andrew Brem, General Manager at Uber UK said “We know that Uber Reserve is an incredibly popular and trustworthy feature for travellers looking to begin their journey and get to the airport on time. This new offering will help create that same seamless experience for travellers arriving back in the UK via Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham airports ”.
