Schedule rides in advance

Catch an Uber ride to and from the airport

30 April 2019 / Kenya

Everyone gets excited about heading on a  journey – often to the point that they forget the first step of getting to the airport. It’s easy to overlook this important aspect in the crazy run-up to a long-awaited trip, resulting in major last-minute stress. Using Uber at airports however makes travel connections super easy, whether you’re riding to the airport or looking for a pickup to take you home:
Ever-present availability
Uber is available 24 hours a day at over 300 airports on five continents. So, it almost doesn’t matter where your flight is heading or when your flight departs: you should have no worries about finding a ride at whatever time or wherever you land. Simply head to the app to find a driver ready to get you to your hotel or back home.
Schedule a ride ahead of time
With so many things to tick off your to-do list before embarking on a journey, why not schedule your airport ride in advance? That way you’ll have peace of mind and can focus on the thousand and one other arrangements.
Of course, that goes the other way as well. There’s no need to stumble around looking for a ride or rental cars when arriving at your destination. Arrange an Uber ride ahead of your arrival for a smooth exit.
Trouble-free pickup and dropoff
With Uber, you also get dedicated pickup and dropoff zones at most airports. Now you don’t have to fret and scramble around when getting out of the airport – the app will show you where these zones are so you can find them easily. They’re also helpful when you’re heading in, as the map will show you where you’ve been dropped off in relation to the airport entrance.
Uber at Kenya’s airports
In Kenya, Uber is available at airports in Nairobi and Mombasa. There are some things to keep in mind when it comes to how to use Uber at these airports:
When you book an Uber ride from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you’ll have the choice of UberX, Select and Chapchap to get you to your hotel or back home.
At Moi International airport in Mombasa, you can request an UberX at any time to get into the city center. If you can’t find your driver, double-check your pickup location or contact them through the app.
Use Uber at Wilson Airport to get to downtown Nairobi or vice versa with ease. When you request a ride, make sure to check the app to find the designated Uber airport pickup point.
So, when are you taking your next trip? Wherever you’re flying to or whatever time you’re coming in, you can rely on Uber to get you to the airport in time for your flight or back home again after the long journey.
