Uber is enhancing the experience that passengers have when traveling to or from the airport with a series of exciting new services designed for comfort, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Here’s an update on the latest offerings:
1. Uber XXL
Uber is introducing a new vehicle category with Uber XXL. These larger vehicles provide extra trunk space for travelers with several suitcases. This service is available at over 60 airports worldwide, including 40 across the U.S. and Canada, ensuring ample room for families or those with oversized bags.
2. UberX Share
UberX Share, perfect for cost-conscious travelers, lets you share your ride—and the fare—with another passenger traveling to or from the airport. Available at select airports like Newark (EWR), Denver (DEN), and Miami (MIA), this option can save you up to 25%, even if no one else is matched with you.
3. Uber Shuttle
Uber Shuttle has expanded its pick-up and drop-off locations for rides to LaGuardia Airport (LGA), now including the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, in addition to the initial locations of Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. This affordable service offers rides for just $18 per person. Running every 30 minutes between 5 AM and 11 AM, the service allows up to four reserved seats per booking, making it a great option for group travel
4. Uber Reserve with Flight Capture
The Flight Capture feature in Uber Reserve links directly with your flight details to recommend optimal departure times. It also automatically adjusts for delays and allows for multiple pick-up stops—perfect for stress-free group travel or navigating airport logistics. We tried Uber Reserve before and were lukewarm about the service. These updates target travelers who prefer not to worry about figuring out when to leave for the airport.
Summary
Uber is enhancing the airport travel experience with a variety of new services. Travelers can now choose from Uber XXL, which provides larger vehicles with extra luggage space, and UberX Share for more affordable rides. The Uber Shuttle service at LaGuardia (LGA) has expanded its routes, now including the World Trade Center, in addition to Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. Uber Reserve with Flight Capture streamlines trips by syncing with flight details to optimize departure times. These updates offer more convenient and budget-friendly options, perfect for those looking to simplify their airport trips

Glad they’re doing another Uber Shuttle location but they need a Brooklyn option!
