Uber drives into corporate world with new business service

Uber, the service where people request a ride from an authorised driver through a mobile application, has been hugely popular in South Africa and in other parts of the world. While it has ran into some legal troubles in countries like France, it’s actually expanding in Africa.

Where the service so far has been available for individuals and small groups, Uber South Africa announced that it will start offering its transport services to businesses in a unique manner.

“Uber for Business is a dedicated platform that enables small and mid-sized companies to set up an Uber account with a centralised billing system and maintain a travel dashboard that business administrators can view and use to manage budgets – at no cost,” it said in a statement.

Essentially it becomes a medium- to small-sized company’s personal driver, where the company will request multiple rides for different people, while paying through one company bank card. Uber also explained that divisions of large companies can register separately, just to make the auditing process a bit easier.

“Companies allow employees to bill to a single card on file rather than activating multiple company credit cards or requiring reimbursements. However the option exists for divisions of large companies to register individually – separating their expenditure for efficient internal reporting.”

Uber for Business is also available from today in all the countries in which it operates, totalling about 45 countries and over 200 cities.

More details on Uber for Business can be found on its blog, and you can register your company on the website right now.
