What is uber connect?

Uber Connect is a service offered by Uber that allows users to send packages, items, or goods to other people through the Uber app. It's designed for same-day, local delivery of smaller items.

Here's a breakdown:

• What it is: Uber Connect is a package delivery service.
• How it works: Users request a driver through the Uber app, similar to requesting a ride, but instead of a passenger, the driver picks up and delivers a package. The sender meets the driver to hand off the package and the recipient is notified to meet the driver to receive it.
• Item restrictions: There are limitations on what you can send. These typically include restrictions on items such as alcohol, medication, hazardous materials, fragile items, and illegal items. The packages also need to adhere to weight and size limits. Consult Uber's specific guidelines in your region.
• Tracking: Senders can track the progress of their delivery in real-time through the Uber app. The recipient also receives updates on the package's location.
• Availability: Uber Connect's availability varies depending on the city and region. It is not available everywhere Uber operates.
• Pricing: The cost of Uber Connect varies based on distance, demand, and other factors. The price is presented up front in the app before you request the service.
• Recipient Contact: Uber Connect facilitates easy contact with the recipient through the app, ensuring seamless package delivery.
