Key highlights
- Uber expands its premium caravan travel service to new cities across India
- The service offers lounge-style seating, Wi-Fi, entertainment screens, and onboard refreshments
- Aimed at travellers who want road trips without cramped cabs or bus drama
Uber has turned the road trip dial up a notch. The company has announced an expansion of its Intercity luxury caravan service, bringing its premium road travel experience to more Indian cities. Think of it as booking a road journey that feels more like a private lounge on wheels, minus the neck pain and scratchy bus speakers from the 90s.
The service first launched on select routes and grabbed attention from people who wanted to travel between cities without dealing with airport lines or highway dhabas of questionable hygiene. Now Uber has sensed the demand and is setting these caravans loose on more major intercity routes.
What makes these Caravans special?
This isn’t a regular cab with a better seat cover. Uber’s luxury caravans come with:
- Reclining, lounge-style seats
- Onboard Wi-Fi
- Individual screens for entertainment
- Refreshments and bottled water
- Ample luggage space
- A much quieter ride compared to buses
Some models even get mood lighting and USB charging ports as well.
Who is this for?
The service is squarely aimed at people who want comfort but don’t want the hassle of self-driving. Perfect for:
- Business travellers who need to work on the move
- Friends heading out for a weekend trip
- Families who want to skip airport chaos
- Anyone who believes “no legroom” should be illegal
This also fills a gap between premium cabs and luxury coaches. You get privacy, comfort, and flexibility without splitting costs with 40 strangers.
Where is it available now?
Uber hasn’t dropped a full list yet, but major metros and popular intercity routes are part of the rollout. Think Mumbai–Pune, Bengaluru–Mysuru, Delhi–Jaipur, and more routes that have traffic, tolls, and a fair amount of regret.
The expansion is part of Uber’s larger focus on premium mobility options in India. From Uber Black to Rentals and now these caravans, the company is trying to become the go-to choice not just for short rides but long hauls too.
