What is Uber Quiet Mode?

Uber Quiet Mode is one of a few new features that Uber rolled out on that Uber Black and Uber SUV platforms yesterday. These new features are designed to let riders specify preferences for their trip before they even get inside the car. The most popular new feature is “Quiet Mode” which lets users choose between “quiet preferred” or “happy to chat” for each ride within the app.

“Uber Black and Uber Black SUV riders told us they wanted high-quality service and premium comfort,” Uber wrote in a blog post. “That’s why we’ve improved features and requirements to meet or exceed their expectations on every ride.”

Other new features added to Uber Black and SUV include:

• Help with Luggage: Let your driver know if an extra pair of hands is needed for your luggage.
• Temperature Control: Communicate your optimal temperature before entering a vehicle.
• Extended Pickup Period:  Riders will have a little extra time to get to the car when unexpected delays pop up.
• Premium Support: Access premium phone support with live agents if you need something to be made right.  
• Professionalism: Ride with confidence knowing that your professional, commercially licensed driver is at the top of his or her game.
• Consistent Vehicle Quality: Expect the same kinds of rides, every time, with consistent vehicle model, makes, interiors, and exteriors.

All these new features are rolled out on May 15 in the United States. Have you tried any of Uber’s new features yet? If so, let us know your experience in the forum!
