Why let someone else drive, when you could drive yourself? Uber has decided to join the growing throng of self-drive holidaymakers in Australia by trialling a world-first – Uber Rent – a new feature in the Uber app that allows users to rent a vehicle, particularly appealing, says the ride share company, for people who don’t own a car.
Offering 10% of the cost back in Uber Credits on each user’s first rental, and Uber Rewards points for subsequent rental trips, Uber Rent will only be available for 50% of regular Uber users. Effective immediately, in Brisbane, 50% of Uber app users will see the option in their app. From next week, 50% of users across the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide will also be able select Uber Rent in the Uber app.
How it works
– Update your Uber app to the latest version to see if you have the Uber Rent option.
– Select ‘Rentals’ and you’ll see partner Cartrawler’s search engine to enter your pickup location and rental date.
– Select and book the car that suits you best.
