Uber has announced the launch of Uber Comfort, a premium cab option with an added layer of comfort, for its customers.

With the new Uber Comfort, riders will experience some of the newest cars on the Uber platform. The vehicles have spacious interiors with ample legroom, allowing riders the opportunity to stretch comfortably during their journey.

The new Rider Preferences in-app feature allows riders to tailor the ride to their specific requirements, by requesting a vehicle temperature and a conversation preference. Riders will have the ability to have the vehicle temperature set to their liking before pick-up, allowing them to ensure comfortable conditions regardless of external weather conditions.

In addition, riders who select Uber Comfort will be able to select conversation preferences, including opting for a silent trip. Trips on Uber Comfort will be priced above the equivalent UberX trip.
