UBER announced today the launch of a very useful function for all those who use the platform to be transported to various locations, but also for the people close to them. More precisely, starting today, UBER allows the initiation of rides for other people, providing them with information about the car that is going to come to pick them up, but much more than that.
When an UBER user initiates a ride with pickup in a different location than he is, the application will automatically recognize the fact that it is made for another person. At that moment, the option to confirm that that ride is really for another person will be displayed in the UBER application and we are offered the option to choose from the contact list the person who will make the ride.
The contact chosen by us through the UBER application will at that moment receive an SMS from the American company with a series of information regarding the respective race. More precisely, UBER will send them a message in which it will send them the information regarding the final location and duration of the ride, the name of the driver who is going to pick them up, his phone number, the type of car that will come, who is paying, but also a link to track the location of the car in real time.
UBER – places Races for other people
UBER launches this feature to help users order rides for other people faster and easier, for users to pay for. UBER recommends using this function mainly for family members or friends, and the information that is shared with the person who will be picked up is close in complexity to that seen by the user.
In the images below you can see what the interface looks like through which you can order a ride for another person, as well as the SMS received by the person to be picked up. UBER offers an extremely useful functionality, especially for those who want to quickly transport someone from one place to another, but have no other method than using a taxi.
This is one of the big changes that UBER has been announcing lately, last week other very important ones were announced. Specifically, UBER is going to allow customers to tip drivers, while waiting for customers will be charged, and canceling a ride will have a much higher fee than before, as the company tries to generate more money for drivers .
