Vermont Business Magazine Starting next Tuesday, 100 percent of US riders in 23 cities and states will see a new ride feature: Uber Ski. Vermont, New Hampshire and Northern New York are all part of the new, premium service.
Riders will see this new option in the Uber app on December 17. This option lets you order an Uber trip with confirmed extra vehicle space or a ski/snowboard rack for those moments when you want to hit the slopes or head to a snowy getaway. Riders pay an additional surcharge for the selection (on top of their standard trip fare) and, thanks to Uber Ski, won’t have to deal with the hassles of transporting gear themselves this winter season.
This feature will also provide riders greater peace of mind: you and your equipment will arrive at your winter destination without interruptions or surprises at pickup. From the time you select Uber Ski, to your trip’s arrival, and ending with your dropoff--you and others can take Uber, together, with ease. Riders will be able to view the Uber Ski surcharge on their receipt, and the surcharge will be added to their upfront price when that option is selected in-app.
Uber Ski further improves both the rider and driver experience by clearly aligning expectations so drivers know when riders need additional space for winter gear or their ski rack is required.
Uber Ski will be available in Anchorage, Boise, Boston, Colorado Springs, Denver, Eastern Washington, Flagstaff, Fort Collins, Grand Rapids, Green Bay, Lehigh Valley, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New Hampshire, Portland (Oregon), Portland (Maine), The Rockies (Colorado), Salt Lake City, Seattle, Upstate New York, Vermont, Wilkes-Barre Scranton, Worcester, Wyoming.
