Time to party

Pick up your besties

This holiday season, make sure you and all your friends show up to the party together. With multiple stops, you can now add up to 2 extra stops to your trip to pick up any last-minute partygoers during the ride.

Here’s how:

Note: this feature is not available on uberPOOL rides

Make a fashionable entrance

Impress your besties along the way with UberSELECT—nice cars driven by top rated drivers.

Roll up together

Don’t feel like heading to your holiday shindig alone? Go big with uberXL, and get an affordable SUV that has similar wait times to uberX but can hold up to 5 of your favorite party people.

Note: UberSELECT and uberXL availability may depending on location

Pickups made magical

When the weather outside isn’t so delightful

In the midst of all the holiday hustle, it can sometimes be hard to meet up with your driver. Now you can share your location with your driver in real time so they can find you faster.

* Note: not available if app’s location permission is set to “While in Use”

When city sidewalks become busy sidewalks

When the holiday crowds start to grow, finding the best spot to meet your driver can be tricky. That’s why we’ll suggest nearby pickup spots where trips often start. These locations are where riders and drivers have had smooth pickup experiences in the past helping you to get going quicker.

So this holiday season, spend less time sweating the small stuff and take back some of that holiday cheer with Uber.
