UberXXL will let you catch an even bigger ride to the airport
Source: The Verge added 20th Nov 2024Uber has launched a new airport-only fare option in its ride-sharing app called UberXXL. It surpasses UberXL’s single X by guaranteeing rides with trunk space that can handle large families with lots of big bags — no more sitting at the curb trying to figure out what to do next.

The new option is available today at more than 60 airports worldwide, with more coming down the road. In terms of pricing, UberXXL will sit somewhere between UberXL and Uber Black, the company says. XXL also adds a stopgap before Uber Shuttle, the charter-style option it launched in New York last month that lets you book up to five seats for a trip to the airport with discounted rates and protection against surge pricing.
There’s also a new Uber widget that will let you request rides to your most frequented locations, such as work and home, directly from your iPhone’s home screen. And when you use Uber Reserve to preschedule a ride to an airport, a new Flight Capture feature lets you enter your flight details to receive recommended leave times It can also prompt riders to adjust if a flight is delayed, and schedule multiple stops along the way.

Uber is also expanding the availability of UberX Share rides, which offer lower rates for splitting the ride with up to one other traveler, to select airports, including EWR, IAD, SFO, and a few others. If it can’t find a rider who’s going your direction within five minutes of requesting the ride, Uber will let you travel alone with the discount.
