Uber Pet has now expanded to the following cities as of February 2020:ĭrivers who had pet allergies or simply weren’t expecting to deal with an animal would have to react to the surprise, or perhaps even cancel the ride. The only options were to try to contact a driver ahead of time or utilize the service animal policy if it applied. Prior to this feature being launched, passengers who wanted or needed to bring a pet on their Uber ride often took a shot in the dark – or just did it anyway.

Uber Pet will launch in select cities on October 16 and allows passengers to communicate to their driver that they’ll be bringing their pet on the trip as well. Uber is changing up the ride experience for both drivers and passengers with the new Uber Pet feature. RSG contributor Chonce Maddox Rhea shares what you need to know about Uber Pet below. Whether or not you take them (and their pet – not service animal) is up to you, but now Uber is making it easier for drivers in some cities to accept pets and receive additional payment for transporting them. It’s probably happened to you: you pull up to pick up your passenger only to discover they’d also like to bring their furry friend.
