Uber Kiosks: Ride Booking Without Your Phone

Travelers can now book Uber rides without needing a smartphone, thanks to new kiosks being rolled out by the company. These kiosks are particularly beneficial for international visitors who may lack local data plans or for any passenger experiencing phone issues.

The initial deployment of these app-free booking stations is at LaGuardia Airport's Terminal C. Uber plans to expand this service to other transportation hubs like hotels and ports in the upcoming months, positioning kiosks as a direct competitor to traditional taxi services.

In parallel, Uber's shuttle bus service, previously launched at LaGuardia and JFK airports, is now available at Newark Liberty International Airport. This expansion ensures all major New York City area airports offer this convenient transit option.
