UberXXL: The Ultimate Airport Ride for Families and Big Groups

Introducing UberXXL: A Game Changer for Airport Rides

Uber has made a significant move in the ride-sharing market with the introduction of a new airport-only fare option named UberXXL. This innovative feature is designed specifically for travelers who need extra room for large families and numerous big bags, eliminating the hassle of figuring out transportation once you've arrived at the airport.

Availability and Pricing

As of today, UberXXL is available at over 60 airports worldwide, with plans for more locations in the near future. The pricing for UberXXL positions it strategically between UberXL and Uber Black, making it an appealing choice for those who require ample trunk space without the higher costs associated with premium services.

Features Enhancing the Airport Experience

In addition to UberXXL, Uber is enhancing its services in several ways:

• Uber Shuttle: Launched recently in New York, this charter-style service allows users to book up to five seats for a trip to the airport at discounted rates, while also protecting against surge pricing.
• Uber Widget: A new feature that enables users to request rides to frequently visited locations (like home or work) directly from their iPhone's home screen, simplifying the user experience.
• Flight Capture Feature: When using Uber Reserve to pre-schedule a ride to the airport, this feature allows users to enter flight details to receive recommended departure times and can adjust if a flight is delayed.
• Route Flexibility: Riders can now schedule multiple stops along their route, accommodating needs for quick errands or pickups.

Expanding UberX Share Rides

Uber is also broadening the availability of its UberX Share rides, which provide reduced rates for sharing a ride with up to one other traveler. This expansion includes select airports such as EWR, IAD, and SFO. If a matching rider cannot be found within five minutes of the request, Uber allows the user to travel alone while still enjoying the discounted fare.

Conclusion

With the introduction of UberXXL and these new features, Uber is not only enhancing the airport transportation experience but also providing users with cost-effective and convenient options for their travels. Whether you're traveling solo or with family, these updates promise to make your next airport trip smoother than ever.
