If you’re a pet parent, you must’ve encountered this dilemma of traveling with your pets, especially when you don’t have your personal vehicle. Many ride-hailing services and even local public transportation don’t allow pets. Well, you won’t be in that dilemma anymore! Uber, the ride-hailing platform has expanded Uber Pet services to Mumbai and Delhi.
This service, that allowed pets to accompany you in your Uber ride was launched in October 2024 in Bangalore. Now, the service has expanded to Mumbai and Delhi, making travel for pet parents even more convenient.
Uber Pets In Mumbai And Delhi
Following the success of Uber Pets in India’s IT Hub – Bangalore, the service has expanded to two more Indian metropolitans – Mumbai and Delhi. The service allows you to board your pet in your Uber ride. It works both ways – you can schedule an on-demand Uber Pets ride, or plan it in advance.
What works in the favor of pet parents is that they no longer have to leave their pets behind when traveling. Uber Pet offers a convenient and a stress-free transportation option for both the pet parents and their furry friends.
However, booking it isn’t as affordable as booking a normal Uber ride. Passengers must select their desired route as usual, and while selecting for a ride, you get an option of converting your Uber ride into an Uber Pets ride. When we tried booking the Uber Pet ride, we found that it cost significantly more than a usual ride – for the same distance!
