Uber Launches XXL Rides for Airport Travel

Uber has launched its new UberXXL rides service, designed to provide more trunk space for travelers and accommodate the expected surge in holiday travel at over 60 airports globally. This service is part of Uber's strategy to enhance its offerings amid rising competition in the ride-hailing and autonomous vehicle sectors. Additionally, Uber is introducing shared airport rides through UberX Share, allowing travelers to save up to 25% by sharing rides with another passenger. The company has also enhanced its Uber Reserve feature to better align ride schedules with flight details and notify passengers of any delays. The new offerings include expanded shuttle services in New York City, further diversifying Uber's travel-related services. Overall, these changes aim to position Uber as a more integral player in the travel industry as it prepares for a record-breaking Thanksgiving travel season.
