UAE: Uber to offer free rides to people seeking Covid-19 jab till July 31

Uber is offering free rides to people looking to receive Covid-19 vaccination in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Passengers will be able to avail two free Uber rides, up to Dhs60 each, to and from public vaccination centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The rides will be offered from June 22 to July 31 for people of all ages and nationalities.

The commitment comes as part of Uber's global initiative to support public authorities and cities in their attempt to contain the pandemic. The initiative is supported by the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai and the Integrated Transport Centre in Abu Dhabi as part of the national vaccination drive.

People across Dubai and Abu Dhabi will be able to book trips to and from 97 centres using the Uber app, including a number of DHA centres in Dubai, the SEHA Vaccination Centre and other select centres in Abu Dhabi, official news agency WAM reported.
