Request Multiple Stops Using Uber

While there is no function on the Uber app that allows riders to set a series of consecutive destinations, you can set your first stop as the initially destination and then manually reroute your driver from there as needed. Be sure to communicate your intentions to do this to your Uber driver beforehand so that they don't end the trip at your first destination.

Steps

  1. Open the Uber app.
  2. Tap "Where to" and type in a destination. This should be your first stop.
  3. Tap your preferred Uber package. Uber employs several different types of transportation options with varying costs; these are listed below the map interface. Your options will vary according to your location, but will usually include:
    • UberX - Standard sedan that seats one to four people.
    • UberPOOL - A cheaper service which may involve picking up or drop off another passenger on the way to your destination.
    • XL - SUV-type vehicle that seats one to six people (more expensive than UberX).
    • SELECT - Luxury/high-performance vehicle that seats one to four people (most expensive option).
  4. Make sure your payment info is correct. You should see your current payment option (credit/debit card or PayPal) listed directly below the Uber vehicle options.
    • If you want to change your payment option, you can tap your current one and either select a pre-existing payment option (if you have multiple ones) or tap Add Payment Method to add a new one.
  5. Tap Request.
  6. Wait for your Uber to arrive. You should see a wait time estimate next to your driver's name.
  7. Communicate your plan to your driver. Your driver will appreciate you letting them know that the destination listed on their app isn't the one at which your trip ends.
    • If you'll need to leave your Uber when you arrive at a stop, give your driver an estimate of how long you'll need to leave the car for.
  8. Open your Uber app when you arrive. At this point, you'll need to reroute your driver.
  9. Tap your driver's name. This should be on a card at the bottom of your app's screen.
  10. Tap "Change". This option is below the "Location" section.
  11. Type in your next destination. Your driver should now have the proper information to navigate to the next stop!

Tips

  • You can use this method to pick up multiple people so long as you have their addresses.

Warnings

  • Cancelling an Uber more than five minutes after ordering it may result in a cancellation fee.
