Are you going to Paris this summer to watch the Olympics? No? How about back home to the midwest to visit family, or to the nearest body of water to relax? A town away to visit your best friend?
Wherever you’re traveling this summer, Uber may have just made financial planning for your trip just a bit easier. Now, you can search average fares and wait times in more than 10,000 cities.

Uber’s new feature should make trip planning easier
“Riders will now be able to see insights into the average wait time and cost of a ride from all local airports and within a given city,” Uber said in a press release. “Plus, you’ll have the option to reserve rides for upcoming trips. Just tap ‘where to?’ and select ‘search in a different city’ to get started.”
Uber also introduced other features that might pique the interest of those lucky enough to be in Paris this summer. Flying Blue gives users points with Air France-KLM Group if they use Uber in France and the Netherlands; Uber Bubbles, a champagne tour bookable through the Uber app, has more open reservations; and Uber Cruise allows people to book a private cruise on the river Seine.
“With Summer in full swing, and a record number of Americans taking to the skies for their long awaited vacations, these updates are meant to help customers more easily plan for – and save on – their summer travels to Paris and beyond,” the company said in a press release.
The new feature will start rolling out on July 16.
