TRIPCASE from Sabre Traveler Solutions has integrated with the new Uber API in its mobile travel management application, meaning TripCase users can seamlessly request an Uber ride and receive a special discount pricing through the TripCase app.
Based on advanced geo-location features, the TripCase app will offer travellers an Uber ride at the point in their trip when car services are needed most. This integration will save time and hassle by pre-populating the pick-up and drop-off locations whenever possible. TripCase is one of the fastest-growing mobile travel apps, helping travellers plan more than two million trips per month. According to recent TripCase research, nearly half of TripCase business travellers are likely to use Uber during their next trip. “TripCase and Uber are perfect partners, both dedicated to providing travelers with extraordinary experiences,” says John Samuel, senior vice-president of Sabre Traveler Solutions. “Technology has changed travellers’ expectations, and Uber has revolutionised the way people get a ride. This integration means TripCase users will not have to worry about finding a ride, having cash or scrambling for an address.” The TripCase research found that convenience is the number one consideration for 76 per cent of travellers when choosing a mode of ground transportation. Across traveller types, convenience remains the most important factor with 78 percent of business travellers and 73 per cent of leisure travellers choosing transportation based on convenience. Followed by convenience, business travellers want the ability to pay with credit card (53 per cent), while leisure travellers consider cost (57 per cent) in choosing a mode of transportation.
