Uber, in collaboration with Turo, launched an innovative promotion in Miami that allows users to enjoy a pool installed in the back of a truck, as a refreshing alternative to the high summer temperatures in Florida.

The initiative, which will also be launched in Los Angeles, offers two-hour free reservations through the Uber app. In Miami, the experience will be available on August 30 and 31 at the Bayside Marketplace.

Participants can relax in the mobile pool with dedicated assistance for setup, enjoy popsicles, music, summer items and take home a kit with sunscreen and other accessories.

Additionally, they will receive a credit of 300 dollars for a future rental for Turo booked through the Uber app.

Uber will cover round-trip rides to the event to ensure attendees' comfort.

The company explained that this activation aims to promote the new collaboration with Turo, which is already available nationwide through the Uber app.

Even those who are unable to book the truck-pool will have access to national benefits: until September 1, they will receive $25 off on Turo reservations of $100 or more, in addition to a 10% cashback in credits for Uber One members.

Uber announced this month the launch of Route Share, a new travel option designed for daily commutes, aimed at easing the financial burden on its customers.

This service operates from Monday to Friday during peak hours (6 to 10 a.m. and 4 to 8 p.m.), offering fixed routes with stops every 20 minutes. It allows sharing the ride with up to two additional passengers at a cost up to 50% less than an UberX.

According to the company, Route Share is designed for those who commute to work daily and are looking for a more economical and predictable option. The user must walk to a nearby pickup corner, share the ride with others, and adhere to a direct route without significant detours.
