Uber Adds New Features for Airport Trips: Shared Rides and Extra Luggage Space
Skift Take
Uber continues to adapt its product with travelers in mind.
Uber on Wednesday announced several new features geared toward those booking rides to and from the airport.
Uber has been working to carve a stronger place in the travel industry beyond rideshare.
Uber sells flights through connection with Hopper, and it sells train and bus tickets in the UK and Spain through a connection with Omio.
The company has also been experimenting with boat rides and shuttles to events. And it’s increasing investment in business travel.
There was a report last month that Uber was considering buying Expedia Group (see Skift’s analysis). Expedia’s chairman later said that wouldn’t be happening.
