This is a feature that many far-sighted business travellers must have been hoping for, on the eve of a very early take-off: since 5 OctoberUber offers the "Planning a race"Business travellers can anticipate their journey by reserving their vehicle between fifteen minutes and thirty days in advance. Business travellers can plan ahead by reserving their vehicle from 15 minutes to 30 days before their journey.
To do so, they simply open the Uber application, log in with their login details and select uberX, before clicking on the "Schedule a ride" option. The user then enters the address and time at which they would like to be picked up, before receiving confirmation and an approach time once the vehicle has been ordered. The option is available not only to BtoB members of the " Uber for business", but also for the general public.
" Waking up very early to go to the airport or the Monday morning meeting that you don't want to miss can be a source of concern for some people. That's why Uber is now offering the option of ordering a ride in advance. "explains the urban transport giant.
This new option, already available in other markets, is coming to France as an experiment. Nine pilot cities have been selected by Uber for this test phase, the duration of which is not yet known: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Strasbourg, Nice, Cannes, Bordeaux and Toulouse.
