Interested users who want to book a Uber ride via WhatsApp can use the chatbot - WhatsApp to Ride (WA2R), which has been built on WhatsApp's Business platform. It is possible to book an Uber ride by just messaging the service's business account number, scanning a QR code and clicking the link to open an Uber WhatsApp chat. You have to provide the pickup and drop locations and you will get the fare details and the driver's expected time of arrival.

Notably, Uber has assured that riders will be able to access safety features and insurance protections while booking a cab on the Uber app.

Talking about pre-requisites to use this feature, you should have already signed up with Uber using the same mobile number that you use on WhatsApp. You cannot use this feaure if you registered on Uber using your email address.
