Starting 24 August 2017, Riders will be able to book multiple-stops in a single Uber booking. It has taken a long time for Uber to introduce this feature especially after Grab launched their own multi-stop option in the middle of 2017.

How does Uber Multiple Destinations feature work
What was the problem
Previously, the rider had to change the destination for each additional stop in a single booking. Many riders who did not inform the Driver upfront of multiple stops were sometimes unable to carry on to the second destination as the driver may have accepted the next incoming job request.
How many destinations can rider add in the new feature
The rider can add up to 2 additional stops. In total, the driver can expect to go up to 3 destinations in 1 booking.
How to book multiple destinations on Uber Rider app
- Go to Uber Rider app. Remember to update your app to the latest version

How do multiple destinations look like on Uber Driver App
When Driver arrives at the first destination, there will be a confirm stop at the bottom of the screen for the driver to slide. It works like how a trip is ended on a regular UberX or UberPool trip. After sliding CONFIRM STOP, the second destination will be shown and driver can activate the GPS to guide them to the second destination.
