Now, riders can pick up friends or a bottle of booze on the way to a party by adding the stops in the app. Here's Uber with the step-by-step description for the new feature: To use the feature, tap “where to?” and then “+”. Add the addresses of your stops, and then request your ride.
Can I get Uber to pick someone up for me?
For times when you want to send your friends and family home–or pick them up–you can request a ride for other adults through your app.
Can you order an Uber for someone in a different location?
When using Uber to set a pickup location away from your current location, the app will automatically ask if the ride is for you or for a friend or for "Someone Else." When you select "Someone Else," you can automatically add their contact information to the request, key in their destination, and hail the ride for them.
Can I schedule an uber in advance for someone else?
Uber does not take scheduled rides. So you can schedule a ride for someone else off of your account but not on a scheduled basis only as needed at the moment the ride is needed. However with Lyft you can schedule rides ahead of time. You schedule the pickup just as you normally would.
