The service is designed for those quick trips to the vet, or for outings to pet-friendly cafes, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey for both pets and owners.
How to Book an Uber Pet Ride:
a) Select Uber Pet in the App: Choose the “Uber Pet” option when booking a ride.
b) Pick-Up Time: You can schedule the pick-up anywhere from 60 minutes to 90 days in advance, making it flexible for different travel plans.
c) Driver Notification: Drivers will be notified that a pet will be accompanying the rider, ensuring they are prepared for a comfortable experience.
Seamless Experience for Pet Owners:
According to Shweta Mantri, Head of Rider Verticals at Uber India and South Asia, the initiative is aimed at providing a seamless experience for pet parents, while also offering drivers additional earning opportunities. The goal is to make travel more accessible for pet owners who want to include their furry companions in their journeys.
This service is expected to benefit pet owners by making travel convenient while keeping pets stress-free during rides.
