Uber - Request a ride for iOS and iPadOS

Uber - Request a ride is a travel app for arranging rides from an iPhone or iPad. Enter a destination to review the ride options available in your area, see an estimated arrival time and upfront pricing, then choose what suits your trip. The app can be useful for everyday journeys, errands, group outings and travel in an unfamiliar city.

Choose a ride for the journey

Available options depend on the city. The range described by Uber includes individual rides, larger vehicles for groups, electric cars, comfort and premium options, pet-friendly rides, taxis in selected locations, and scooters or bikes where offered. This gives you a way to compare different types of transport in one app rather than assuming every service is available everywhere.

For planning ahead, you can reserve a ride for a specific time. Uber also offers group ride features: UberX Share can connect riders travelling in the same direction, while Group Rides and Split Fare can help friends travel together and divide a fare. Check the details shown in the app before confirming, since available products and trip terms can vary by location.

Other services in the app

Uber includes services beyond passenger rides. Depending on your location, you may be able to arrange car rentals, order food or other deliveries through Uber Eats, send items with Uber Connect, view transit options, or book larger vehicles through Uber Charter. Uber Hourly and Uber for Business are also listed among its offerings. These are additional services, not a guarantee that each one is available in your city.

Some options have specific conditions. For example, Uber Car Seat is described as providing one forward-facing seat for a child who meets the stated age and size requirements. Review the service information in the app and confirm that it fits your needs before booking. Uber One is an optional membership with benefits on eligible orders and rides; terms and other fees apply.
