Christmas vacation is near and for those who don't like to travel light during the holiday season, Uber is offeringa new XXL option.
The ride-hailing company's new ride category comes with "access to larger trunk space," it announced last 20 November. This option is available for more than 60 airports worldwide, including 40 in the US and Canada.
So what's the difference between this and an UberXL, which has been around for years? It boils down to trunk space.
The UberXL option gets riders a van or SUV that seats up to six people. While the new UberXXL choice guarantees trunk space and fits six people, the UberXL option doesn't promise the trunk will be free to load your luggage into.
As part of its updates for the holiday travel season, Uber said eligible Uber One members could get US$ 20 Uber Cash back on an XXL ride until December 1.
Separately, Uber is introducing a widget for iPhone users that lets them book a ride from their home screens with two taps. The widget requires the latest version of iOS and the latest Uber app update.
The Transportation Security Administration expects this year's Thanksgiving travel period to be the busiest on record, in line with passenger volumes already reaching record highs earlier this year. It projects it'll screen 18.3 million people from now to 2 December, an increase of 6 percent from this time last year.
