Today by integrating Uber API, Yatra.com has taken another step forward in providing its customers with comprehensive travel solutions and a seamless travel experience.

Our partnership with Uber, a global leader in smart mobility, is a first in the Industry and will help us take the next step in servicing our customers and providing them with solutions to all their travel requirements," said Co-founder and CIO Yatra.com, Manish Amin.

Our partnership with Yatra.com, a first of its kind Uber API integration in India, is a small but significant step in this direction," said President of Business, Asia, Uber India, Eric Alexander.

Customers can book their Uber ride on Yatra App under Cabs/Rides section. Existing Uber users can use their account while making their bookings on the Yatra App. This would require one time account linking. New users can directly sign up for Uber from the Yatra App itself even if they don't have the Uber app downloaded on their device.
