Does anyone know how to order an Uber for someone else? I won't be riding along. TIA

(7,715 posts)Can't you manually enter an address where your friend will be? You can then call your friend and driver to let them know the exact address so they won't miss the friend.
I did this 3 years ago in SF when some family was visiting us and they got stuck at a major protest. It took a few phone calls, but we got them picked up and safely delivered.

Grandma doesnt have a smartphone? Mom needs a ride from the airport? Your friend got a little too happy at happy hour? Send them a reliable ride to their destination. Its always appreciated.
How it works
Open your app
Tap to open the app, then tap Where to?
Choose the rider
Above the address box, youll see a scroll-down option where you can make your selection.
Sit back and relax
The person you request for will receive a text with important trip details like ETA, car type, and the drivers contact information, so they can coordinate with the driver directly if needed.
