Every trip is operated by commercially licensed professional chauffeurs and features new-model luxury vehicles\u2014each less than three years old\u2014bringing a level of consistency and polish typically reserved for private car services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EcgWU aKYSf gpBvH HPRgD\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-szi7y498\">One of the most notable features is the debut of the in-app airport Meet &amp; Greet service. Riders can now select an in-terminal pickup, where their chauffeur meets them directly at baggage claim. Inside the vehicle, the experience continues with curated amenities including phone chargers, bottled water, mints, and hand-sanitizing towelettes. Riders can also submit special requests in advance, from preferred beverages to celebratory add-ons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EcgWU aKYSf gpBvH HPRgD\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-m6ksg945\">Uber Elite includes dedicated 24\/7 phone support from the moment a trip is booked, along with the ability to directly contact the chauffeur ahead of pickup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EcgWU aKYSf gpBvH HPRgD\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-lteyk550\">At launch, access remains limited, with invitations extended to frequent Uber Black users and Uber for Business clients, alongside a waitlist for broader entry. But the roadmap is clear: Uber Elite is being built as a global product, with additional U.S. and international markets expected to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Uber has officially unveiled a new tier of luxury travel, and it\u2019s positioning itself to compete directly with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-178633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
