UberXXL
With UberXXL, travelers will have larger trunk space, ideal for airport pick-ups and drop-offs with extra baggage, and comfortable seating. UberXXL is available for rides to and from more than 60 airports globally, including 40 in the US and Canada, and more to come.
Flight Capture
A feature with Uber Reserve ensures a timely, stress-free arrival at the airport. Uber’s Flight Capture feature allows riders to enter their flight details for the best recommended time to leave. Its flight-tracking capability will alert riders if their flight gets delayed, and Uber will ask whether they want to adjust their airport drop-off accordingly.
