When Uber is still the right choice
Existing Uber users who want chat-first logistics.
- • Both Rides and Eats covered
- • Cart and ride staging with confirmation
- • Existing Uber account, payment, and saved places carry over
When to look elsewhere
Scheduled rides days out, or non-Uber regions.
- • US and Canada first; broader rollout still in progress
- • Detailed route planning still better in Uber app
- • Surge pricing isn't avoidable through the integration
