The name of this new Uber feature would never work in Ireland

You what, mate?

YESTERDAY, UBER ANNOUNCED a new feature whereby customers can order a car for their friends or relatives and put it on their card.

Ah, what a thoughtful gesture!

The feature is available in 30 countries, but something tells us that it wouldn’t work in Ireland without a little rebranding…

Request a ride for a loved one.

Er, that’s a little forward, no?

So no matter where your loved ones need to be – and where you are located – a safe, reliable ride is just a few taps away.

DEAR GOD, NO. JUST USE THE WORD ‘LIFT’.
