Uber Kenya has a new discount programme that gives companies the ability to pay for trips taken by their customers. This latest move is designed to grow the US tech firm\u2019s local business-to-business market.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The programme, ‘Uber Voucher’, is set to rival taxis and car hire businesses that institutions such as hotels, restaurants and tour firms have used for a long time in transporting their clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Customers using the discount programme can redeem companies\u2019 vouchers at the payments section of the Uber app.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Firms subscribed to the programme can opt to cover partial or full costs of trips taken by their clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The subscribed firms can also grant customers multiple trips as well as tailor the rides to specific routes, pickup and drop-off points.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cCompanies that already offer customers shuttle or rental car services can also make effective use of Uber Vouchers. The vouchers can provide a real-time, flexible transportation option for customers while reducing operational overhead and fixed costs,\u201d said Uber in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe have been working with many partners across hospitality and auto insurance, testing Uber Vouchers as part of their customer service and see a tremendous opportunity to use on-demand technology to improve their customers\u2019 experiences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This development comes more than two years after the taxi-hailing firm unveiled Uber for Business locally, a service that enables company employees to take rides at the expense of their employer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The platform enables corporates to track, manage and get billed for their business travel using a single account.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In September 2017, Uber said Nairobi had emerged the second-biggest market for the ride-hailing firm\u2019s platform after London in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n
