TripAdvisor just announced a new feature that allows travelers to easily call a ride with Uber to restaurants, attractions and luxury hotels in more than 40 cities worldwide.
TripAdvisor is one of the first sites to integrate Uber functionality into its mobile experience by using the new Uber API.
As TripAdvisor app and mobile website users visit the listings of restaurants, attractions and hotels, they will now be able to see an estimate of Uber car fares and the wait times for pickup. By tapping a "Ride there with Uber" button, TripAdvisor will seamlessly take them to the Uber app or mobile website to complete the reservation and send a car to their location.
Users will only be charged if they get a ride, and fares vary by location, vehicle type and travel times. First-time Uber users may create an account by going to the Uber mobile site. In order to create an account they will need to provide their name, email address, phone number and a valid credit card.
Uber is a venture-funded startup and transportation network company based in San Francisco, California, that makes their mobile apps that connect passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire and ridesharing services. The company arranges pickups in dozens of cities around the world. Cars are reserved by sending a text message or by using a mobile app—the latter can also be used by customers to track their reserved car's location. - According to Wikipedia
At launch, the new Uber feature for the TripAdvisor app and mobile website will be available in English and Italian, with more languages and cities to be added in the future. The feature is available for both iOS and Android versions of the TripAdvisor app.
