Uber offering cheaper travel to London and Harlow vaccination centres

The ride-hailing operator is offering to cover £15 of passengers’ trips to 42 mass vaccination centres in the UK.

Near mid-January, Uber initially launched the discount scheme for one of the seven mass vaccination centres available at the time.

But with many more vaccination hubs launched in London and Essex, the scheme has been extended for customers travelling to and from the vaccination centres.

To claim the ride:

1) Tap the menu in the top left of the Uber app and select ‘Wallet’.

2) Select ‘Add Promo Code’ at the bottom

3) Use the codes listed below (depending on the region of the centre you’re attending)

4) Order a ride either starting at the centre, or ending at the centre

Some of the local sites include:

Code: UberUKRH

• Harlow Sports Centre

• Roberston House, Stevenage

Code: UberUKEX

• The London Nightingale, Excel Centre

• Network House, Wembley

Code: UBERUKED

• Westfield Stratford City

• Hornsey Central Neighbourhood Health Centre

Trips can be claimed up until February 28, and the promotion is only valid for the first 4,000 riders per promo code.

There are individual promo codes for each region of vaccination centres, if you are travelling to the other centres visit: uber.com/en-GB/blog/vaccinations for a list of the other promo codes.

In an email to current customers, Uber said: “Thanks to your support, we have helped a number of vulnerable people travel to their vaccination appointments. But there’s more we can do. Which is why were are now extending this offer to apply to forty-two mass-vaccination centres across the UK.”
