Uber launches a voucher option for businesses
CAPE TOWN – Uber announced on Tuesday that it has launched a new payment option that will allow businesses to pick up the tab for riders which it is calling Uber Vouchers.
Uber vouchers will give businesses the opportunity to cover the cost of these rides to move their customers and guests where they need to go.
According to the company, Uber Vouchers make it easy for businesses of all types to sponsor transportation and create a differentiated experience — attracting new customers, rewarding existing ones or enhancing customer service.
Uber said in a statement: " For the past year, our team has worked with businesses to design a new experience that creates deeper connections between them and the people who use their services. We’ve learned they want to offer transportation at scale with flexibility and control."
The vouchers can provide a real-time, flexible transportation option for customers while reducing operational overhead and fixed costs.
"A satisfied customer is a loyal customer. Uber Vouchers help you remove the customer’s burden of driving, navigating, and parking. That way, they can focus on their experience with your business," said Uber.
"Curate an end-to-end experience they’ll remember. Whether you’re selling a concert, a conference, or vacation experiences, vouchers let you take care of transportation details so that customers can be immersed in the moment instead of the logistics."
