New Beta program: try out Uber for Hotels 🚗

Hello Community! 

We have an exciting opportunity for you to try out Uber Central and provide additional conveniences for your guests and/or staff. 

We’re keen to gather insights from your usage and feedback to help us better understand the potential value of further embedding the integration into Mews, which would minimise screen switching and unlock automation in workflows such as payments and billing, or even automatically notify you when your VIP has almost arrived.  

Note: 

This beta is only currently available in: France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, UK, Ireland,  Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg

How does it work?  

Once you have created a user account on Uber Central, you’ll be able to utilize the platform to plan and arrange rides for your guests and/or staff. You can also utilize the ride services for delivering items/products. With all services managed in one central location, you also get clear insights into costs and usage. 

VIP Experiences 

Imagine tailoring a specific guest experience for your VIP, from picking them up pre-arrival to their daily itineraries, to departure. If there’s a special occasion, you can also arrange special pick up/delivery of certain amenities, all from one platform. You’ll also be able to keep an eye on the rides for the smoothest of welcomes.  

Rides for hotel guests 

If guests just want a convenient way to get to a certain tourist spot or activity, and you’re already helping them book that activity, you can easily arrange transportation to and from the destination at the same time. 

Rides for employees 

In case of public transport disruptions or when on a time crunch, this can provide an alternative way to help your employees get to and from work safely.
