NEW DELHI, Nov 21 (TIWN): Global ride-hailing major Uber on Wednesday rolled out a driver rewards programme called "Uber Plus" in India that will let drivers earn points for rides so that they can win free doctor consultations, concessions on education modules, access to micro loans, faster airport pick ups and savings on vehicle maintenance costs.
These points will be earned by the driver partners in 13 cities over a fixed period of every three months and can be then accumulated to unlock higher rating tiers such as blue, gold, platinum and diamond which, in turn, will let them access better rewards, informed the company.
"Under the programme, the Uber drivers get access to four tiers. To unlock these awards, they need to maintain a certain threshold rating and keep a low cancellation rate to unlock access to these benefits," said Prabhjeet Singh, Head of Cities, Uber India and South Asia.
