We wanted to say thanks for being one of our most valued Uber riders in New York City. Today we're introducing you to VIP, our exclusive offering for those riders who have done more than one hundred trips with Uber in NYC.
What is VIP?
VIP is the latest from the Uber Garage, our workshop for experimental features. When requesting VIP, you'll be connected to the highest rated and most experienced partner drivers.
How do I get started?
Starting now, you can open your Uber app and find the VIP option listed above both the uberX and BLACK CAR options - your choice.
Select the VIP option if you would like to ride as a VIP (that's you!).
Don't forget to give us feedback! We'd love input on this experiment via post-trip ratings in the app.
What kind of availability can I expect?
There aren't as many VIP vehicles on the road, so wait times may be a bit longer. Fear not: You'll always have our other three options available (standard uberX, Black, and SUV) to get you where you need to go.
What is the price?
VIP has no additional cost. Rates are exactly the same as uberX or UberBLACK - you'll be charged according to the option you select.
Enjoy!
Team Uber NYC
