Uber has today announced the launch of UberHIRE – an on-demand, time-based option for Business users, allowing them to hail a ride and travel wherever they want across the UAE, charged only on time. The service is available for a minimum of three hours and maximum of eight hours, allowing driver-partners to remain alert in order to provide a safe and reliable service.
Priced from just AED 300, the service is perfect for Dubai-based working professionals and business travellers, who have multiple meetings or require transportation outside of Dubai. Furthermore, UberHIRE automatically matches riders with the highest-rated driver-partners and the newest cars (model years 2015 and newer) so that professionals can enjoy a smooth and hassle-free journey, which caters to their business needs.
Dubai is the first city in the Middle East to launch this service, highlighting Uber’s ongoing commitment to launching products in line with Dubai’s leading position in the region as a business hub.
Chris Free, General Manager for Uber UAE comments: “At Uber we are always listening closely to the needs of our business customers and that’s why we’re launching UberHIRE here in Dubai. Our technology makes it possible for us to create specialised solutions that can help users have access to reliable transportation at affordable prices. UberHIRE is one such product that addresses the commuting needs of working professionals in Dubai by letting them book an Uber and use it for up to eight hours. It is set to transform business travel in the UAE.”
The minimum fare on UberHIRE is AED300 for the first 3 hours. After this point, riders are charged AED1.67 per minute up to a maximum of 8 hours.
How it works:
1. Open the Uber app
2. Enter your intended destination(s) using our Multiple Destinations feature
3. Swipe to the UberHIRE product view and request the ride
UberHIRE is available now through the Uber app. For more information visit the Uber blog here. UberHIRE will be rolled out to Business Profile users in Dubai in phases, starting in January 2018. If you’re a current Business Profile user and you haven’t gotten access, please be patient. A gradual launch will help to ensure we are bringing you a smooth and reliable experience with this new ride option.
