Uber users will now be able to us request a larger vehicle for groups of 7-14 people.
Starting today, UberVANs will be available for hire through the Uber app on your smartphone. The new line comes just in time for Costa Ricaโs annual Palmares Festival.
According to Humberto Pacheco, CEO of Uber in Costa Rica:
[quote_center]โHere at Uber, we connect the members of our community so that they may have more and better options for mobility.โ[/quote_center]
All UberVans will be in โgood condition,โ model 2006 or later. Once assigned, users will be able to see their driverโs name, rating and vehicle make.
Rates
The fares for an UberVAN will begin at โก1000, with โก550 per kilometer, โก100 per minute and a โก2000 minimum. In comparison, regular vehicles โ listed as uberX โ begin at โก500, โก300 per kilometer, โก50 per minute and a โก1000 minimum. As always with Uber, the bill can be easily divided between riders by clicking the โSplit Fareโ button at the bottom of the screen.
