Starting Tuesday, Dec. 17, U.S. 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.
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, according to the news release, Dec. 11. Riders pay an additional surcharge for the selection (on top of their standard trip fare). 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 falso clearly aligns expectations so drivers know when riders need additional space or their ski rack is required, the release continued.
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 and Scranton, Pennsylvania, Worcester, Massachusetts, and Wyoming.
