Uber launches UberSUV in Bangalore, now charges additional amount for long distance trips


UberSUV

Uber today introduced UberSUV in Bangalore, which is already present in some cities such as Hyderabad and Mumbai. UberSUV offers a bigger vehicle that seats up to 6 people or carries more luggage compared to other options and costs the same as UberBLACK. It is available under a new tab when you choose UberBLACK. Sample cars include Toyota Innova, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and similar vehicles, said Uber.

Uber has also announced new marginal change in pricing for long distance trips on uberX or uberGO. This is to justify partner economics, said the company. After 15 KMs, now you will be charged an additional fare for every kilometer. This rate will vary depending on the city. Check out the new long distance rates for Bangalore.

Base Per Minute   Regular Fare (Up to 15 KM) Long Distance Fares  (After 15 KM) MINIMUM FARE
uberGO ₹35 ₹1 ₹7 ₹14 ₹50
uberX ₹40 ₹1 ₹8 ₹16 ₹75

Uber recently expanded to Guwahati, Nashik, Thiruvananthapuram and Vadodara and is now operational in 22 Indian cities in India.
