Uber has announced that free rides will be given to individuals going to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi.
In an effort to support the UAE's vaccination programme, up until 31 July, individuals of all ages and nationalities will be able to get two free Uber rides of up to Dhs 60 each to and from the vaccination centre.
Individuals can book trips to one of the 97 centres using the Uber App.
To get a free ride, click on the URL received through Uber channel communication, either by SMS or email, and click on 'Accept Voucher'.
The details on the voucher will appear along with the voucher in the wallet. At the rides home screen, enter the pickup or drop off location for the booking.
To get the free trip, the trip must start or end at the vaccination centre.
Rifad Mahasneh, Uber General Manager in the UAE said, “We applaud the government's efforts to vaccinate the community and we would like to do our part to support these efforts. Since the onset of the pandemic, we’ve been looking at how we can support our communities, prioritise their health and safety, and ultimately keep cities moving at a time when mobility has been severely impacted. The vaccination drive is part of the effort to leverage our technology to positively impact communities and support the government’s successful efforts in protecting the population against the virus.”
