Uber Is Offering Savings on Rental Cars, More Car Seat …

Uber is making it easier to travel for the holidays with discounts on rental cars, expanded car seat access, and more festive options to celebrate in style.

Customers who rent a car with Uber and choose the valet option over the holidays from Dec. 11 to Dec. 25 will receive $50 in Uber Cash as a bonus, the company shared with Travel + Leisure. The drop-off service is available in Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, New Jersey, Miami, and Boston.

In addition, travelers throughout the country who rent a non-valet car with Uber will also receive $50 in Uber Cash when they choose the “Pay now & Save” feature. Uber Rent is available across the United States and partners with popular rental car companies like Avis, Hertz, and Sixt.

Uber is also making it easier to travel as a family by expanding access to car seats. Travelers in New York City, Los Angeles, Orlando, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Miami, and San Francisco who reserve a car seat in advance will be set up with a Nuna RAVA seat. And to make things even easier, Uber is offering $20 off two Car Seat rides with the promo code “FESTIVESEAT20” until Jan. 2.

But the festive cheer doesn’t stop there. Celebrate the holidays with a toast of Don Julio, Casamigos, or Bulleit Bourbon when customers order carolers on demand. The singing service is available to book for one special day on Saturday, Dec. 7, in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, and Washington, D.C. 

Last-minute decorators can also order Christmas trees or wreaths for delivery right to their door through the Uber Eats app anywhere in the country, or tap the gingerbread icon in the app to see a curated list of available gifts.

“Uber is thrilled to bring some holiday magic directly to your doorstep this season,” a spokesperson for Uber said in a statement shared with T+L. “Whether it’s the joy of Carolers singing to your family, the effortlessness of getting your Christmas tree delivered, or the convenience of finding the perfect gift with a few taps in the app, we’re making it easier than ever to focus on what truly matters — spending time with loved ones.”

The holiday offerings come as Uber is making an effort to be more sustainable, including rolling out a new “EV Preference” option, which allows travelers to automatically be matched with an electric vehicle when ordering a ride if one is nearby, along with offering a shared airport shuttle service.
