Uber will also explore providing drivers with additional revenue opportunities related to its platform for other services, such as delivery.” “In turn, operators should be able to expand their operations and offer more earnings opportunities to local drivers. “Through Autocab’s iGo marketplace, Uber will be able to connect these riders with local operators who choose to take their booking,” the company said in a statement.

Riders will book a car through the Uber app, which will be clearly marked as provided by an independent company, and the independent driver will receive their booking and payment the way they currently do for any booking. But, at least initially, the partnership will only apply in those areas where Uber doesn’t currently operate. That gives individual councils the power to approve or reject Uber’s application to operate in their jurisdiction, as well as apply other limits as they see fit.īy using Autocab’s partnerships with independent minicab operators, the company will manage to sidestep some of those requirements. The UK is a particularly heavily regulated market for Uber to operate within, and the company is required to legally set itself up as a minicab firm in each town and city in which it operates.
The company has not expanded to a new British town since 2016. Uber says that each month hundreds of thousands of riders open the app in cities that it does not currently serve, including 67,000 in Oxford, 25,700 in Exeter and 23,700 in Doncaster. We look forward to working with the Autocab team to help local operators grow and provide drivers with genuine earnings opportunities.” Jamie Heywood, Uber’s regional general manager for northern and eastern Europe, said: “Autocab has worked successfully with taxi and private-hire operators around the world for more than 30 years and Uber has a lot to learn from their experience. Working with Uber we can scale up our ambitions, providing hundreds of thousands of additional trips for our customers, and help cement the place of licensed operators in their local community.”
Safa Alkateb, Autocab’s chief executive, said: “Autocab has been working with local operators across the world to provide the technology to make them more efficient and open up a marketplace to provide more trips.
