Uber India has launched Uber Pet in Bengaluru, enabling pet owners to travel with their pets in taxis. This service is largely answered by the great demand from pet lovers in the country because people can now travel with their pets without leaving them at home.

Catering To The Needs Of Pet Owners

For a long time, a critical issue that most pet owners have faced is taking their pets with them on a journey. Uber Pet has thus launched, with the existing mode of traveling with pets in cabs being pretty hassle-prone, especially since drivers mostly reject requests to let pets get into their vehicles. With Uber Pet, animal owners can take their animals along while on outings and thus make the outing experience all the better. The company wants to be more family-friendly so they have now expanded the options in India, so people can travel with their pets, too. The company was keen on making travel more accessible and inclusive for families, according to the head of Rider Verticals at Uber India. “We understand how important pets are to their families, so the inclusion of them in our outings is very essential.”.

Shweta Mantri added that the service promises smooth travels for pet owners and an added source of income for the drivers. “Uber Pet is our effort to make travel more accessible and convenient for pet owners and their companions,” she stated.

Easy Booking Procedure

The Uber Pet service is only available as a reserve option in the Uber app to riders in Bengaluru. Users can pre-book rides 60 minutes to 90 days in advance, ensuring one has flexibility in planning their travels around the needs of pets.

Here is how one books an Uber Pet one gets an option within the app to select the Uber Pet option and then specifies his/her preferred pick-up time. The process, therefore, helps communicate to the driver beforehand that he will be carrying a pet, making the ride more pleasurable and smoother for all parties.

Compete In The Ride Market

In the ride-hailing market, Uber Pet is one of the most significant products as it turns out to be the first cab aggregator to offer exclusive services for pet owners in Bengaluru. It comes at a time when fierce competition brews in cab services, such as Ola, Namma Yatri, Uber, and Rapido, each striving to improve their services.

It is a win-win for Uber Pet launchers, as it favors pet owners and also factors into the main goal of Uber: making the surroundings more family-friendly. The service complements pet parents’ need for outing enjoyment without leaving their pets behind, rescuing them from anxiety.
