Uber Testing New Feature That Will Have Your Airport Ride Waiting for You to Land

Uber announced a new feature on Wednesday that will allow you to reserve a ride at an airport up to 30 days in advance. 

The feature, which is called Uber Reserve, will send a ride based on when your flight is landing. The pickup time will automatically adjust according to your flight time. 

It will be available at 20 major airports across the country. Some of the airports that support Uber Reserve include New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and more. 

The user will also have a “Ready When You Are” option to send the car as soon as possible, in 10 minutes or 20 minutes. This allows the person to estimate a pickup time based on how long they think it will take them to get off the plane. 

The Ready When You are option is currently piloting in six airports. Right now, it can be used at the following airports: Nashville, New Orleans, Portland, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Toronto. It’s available to use on Android starting Wednesday; the iOS version will debut sometime in November. 

In addition to the ride-share service, Uber is also introducing its Mobile Ordering for Pickup feature. Piloting in Toronto, the feature will allow users to order ahead at select restaurants for pickup while still at the airport.
