**Are you allowed to order an Uber for someone else?**
When it comes to ordering an Uber for someone else, the answer is a resounding yes. Uber allows customers to request a ride for someone else through their app, making it convenient for those who may not have access to a smartphone or the Uber app. This feature is particularly useful for parents who want to ensure their children get home safely, or for individuals who may not have access to transportation. The process is simple and straightforward, and can be done in just a few easy steps.
To order an Uber for someone else, simply open the Uber app and input the desired pickup location and destination. Then, instead of selecting “Set Pickup Location,” tap on the “Where to?” box and enter the other person’s location. After that, select the type of ride and tap “Request for a Guest.” You will then be prompted to enter the passenger’s name and contact information, and can even add a note for the driver. Once the ride has been requested, the other person will receive a text message with a link to track their driver’s route and contact the driver if needed.
