Uber for Business has launched Uber Business Black, a new ride type designed to meet the rising demand for premium travel experiences.
Uber Business Black features newer and more luxury vehicles, such as Mercedes G-Class or Rivian R1S, and on-time pick-up protection where riders will be issued Uber Cash if a driver isn’t matched in a timely manner or is late for pick-up.
It gives users more flexibility with their pick-up time if a meeting runs over, they need to grab a quick snack before they catch their ride.
Uber Busines Black also promises a highly-rated driver who meets local livery standards and carries full commercial insurance, and flexible booking options with Uber Reserve, request on-the-go, or the option to delegate an executive assistant to request rides on their behalf.
“Corporate leaders are navigating demanding schedules when they travel for work. They’re often attending high-stakes meetings or connecting at conferences, operating on tight timelines and in unfamiliar cities. They can’t afford to worry about their transportation,” said Josh Butler, Global GM of Uber for Business.
“Uber Business Black is designed to improve the business travel experience and provide much-needed peace of mind. The new ride type combines the luxury and comfort executives need to unwind between meetings with the flexibility and convenience of Uber to ensure a smoother, more reliable experience.”
