book hotels through the app<\/a>, already available in the United States and expected to arrive in France soon.<\/p>\n\u201cThis expands the company\u2019s travel portfolio and represents another step towards its vision of becoming the \u2018app for everything\u2019 \u2014 not just for cities, but also for tourist coastal regions,\u201d Uber stated in a press release.<\/p>\n
The boat rental option will be available for in-app bookings from mid-June in the following participating cities: Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Marseille, Toulon, Paris, and Annecy.<\/p>\n
Uber\u2019s is partnering with Click&Boat, a Paris-based company with some 55,000 boats around the world.<\/p>\n
Uber Boat is designed for leisure excursions rather than water-taxi transport between destinations. According to Uber, the service will be operated exclusively with certified professional skippers in compliance with local maritime regulations.<\/p>\n
Users will be able to choose between instant bookings and request-based reservations requiring owner approval.<\/p>\n
While prices have not yet been officially revealed, they are not expected to differ greatly from those already available on the Click&Boat platform, where rates for Nice varied significantly depending on the date, number of passengers, and size of the boat. A quick check showed prices starting from around \u20ac250 rising to more than \u20ac3,000 per day.<\/p>\n
Uber One members are expected to receive 10% back in Uber One Credits on their bookings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The service will offer leisure boat rentals starting in mid-June The service, made possible through a partnership with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":953204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3843],"tags":[728,70,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-953203","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116557484309270433","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/953203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=953203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/953203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/953204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=953203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=953203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=953203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
