Uber today added a new feature that lets users in India add extra stops to their trip. This feature will be useful to pick up and drop off friends anytime during your ride, and is already available in several countries. You can add up to 3 stops in India and your fares will continue to include time and distance rates on trips with multiple stops.
Any new stops you add during a trip will instantly update your driver’s route and also shows on your app. Once you’ve reached one of the added destinations, you need to swipe ‘confirm stop’ to get routed to the next location.
How to add multiple stops on or before a Uber ride
- Open the Uber app and tap the “Where To?” box
- Tap the “+” to the right of the box
- Tap “Add a Stop” to add your first destination at any point before or during your ride
- Tap “Add a Stop” if you wish to add more stops (You can only add 3 extra stops)
- Tap “Save”
Uber says that each stop should be under 3 minutes, otherwise fare may change to include additional time you spend waiting at each stop.
