Uber: Riders in Athens, Thessaloniki Can Now Book Trips 90 Days in Advance

Ride hailing service Uber on Thursday announced a new feature to its app that lets customers in Athens and Thessaloniki book a ride as much as 90 days in advance.

Called Uber Reserve, the new service allows riders to reserve an Uber Taxi in Athens and Thessaloniki up to 90 days and at least 30 minutes in advance while also giving information on the trip’s cost (fixed fare).

According to Uber, the driver will arrive early – 5 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time.

Uber Greece General Manager Sarita Varouch said that through the new Uber Reserve feature, the company aims to offer the most seamless travel experience to both Greeks and tourists, especially during the summer when booking requests for routes to/from airports and ports show an increase.

“We are very happy to add new features to our application in Greece with services that meet the needs of our passengers, whether they are residents or visitors to the country… Despite the fact that Uber Reserve is a service that is mainly used for business travel, I believe that many users of our app will be happy to plan their trips in advance with Uber Reserve for the summer holidays,” Varouch added.

Users can cancel a Reserve trip less than 1 hour before pick up, without a cancellation fee.

The Uber Reserve service is already available in over 90 European cities and over 50 countries.
