Riders can add up to five stops and be able to edit them by adding and removing destinations along the way.
In addition to the fare, passengers may incur other costs, such as tolls and parking.

What are UberGo rentals for?
UberGo Rental is for riders who want to get somewhere, do something, and then have the same driver pick up their trip.
With that in mind, this option might work for:
- Shopping: You can ask Uber to take you to the store, wait for you to shop, and take you back. This works best if you’re alone, so you can fold the rear seats for storage.
- Travel to and from job meetings and interviews.
- Pick up kids from school: Your driver can pick you up from your home and wait with you until you pick up your kids before driving everyone home.
Are UberGo Rentals Worth It?
For those who want a longer-than-usual guaranteed ride without having to drive themselves, an UberGo rental may be considered worthwhile.
As we mentioned above, it can be used for trips to the city or downtown, ideal for those who don’t want to drive in stressful places.
Plus, because UberGo Rentals uses the more affordable UberGo as its base, it’s perfect for those who want a service akin to having a driver without breaking the bank.
