'UberHire' is a new service from Uber that has been launched across major cities in India to blend the conveniences of a car service with ridesharing.
Now, rather than just being able to order a ride to get from point A to point B, Uber users in India have the option to select UberHIRE when using the app. With this service, users are able to order the services of an Uber driver for up to 12 hours at a time. At the end of a trip, which allows unlimited stops, a rider's total fare is calculated based on the distance and duration of the trip, with charges varying from city to city.
This new option from Uber is ideal for travelers who want a convenient way to enjoy a new city, those who will be running errands that will require multiple stops and those who depend on reliable transportation to different business meetings.
