Is this really not possible? Uber tells people if your party is larger than 6, we should order multiple vehicles, but I can't seem to do that. How do I do this?
How do I request more than one Uber vehicle at a time?

The Guru Take
You can only request one vehicle at a time.
You can only request one vehicle at a time. Unfortunately, you will need to wait until the current trip is over and completed before you can order another.
If you have more than 4 or 6 passengers and need another car, you are encouraged to have a friend order another. Yep.
Here's a statement from Uber:
Using your rider account, you may request one Uber vehicle at a time. You can request another vehicle immediately after a current trip ends.
In many cities, Uber offers larger vehicle options like uberXL and UberSUV. These vehicle options accommodate 6 or more riders. If you’re requesting a ride for a large group, it’s a good idea to contact the driver who accepts your ride request. Confirm that the vehicle has enough seats and seat belts for everyone.
If you want to ride in a group too large for a single vehicle, please ask others in your group to use their Uber accounts to request additional vehicles.
Riding with a large group is a great opportunity to invite friends to create their own Uber accounts. Select FREE RIDES from your app menu to get started. When invited friends take a first ride, you’ll receive a referral reward.

I could open a new account, I guess.
What happens if I download the app on multiple phones, or say on both iPhone and iPad and log in as the same account Can I still not call two cars?
Right, no, you can't. It's actually cool. Try logging in with the other device, and if there is already a ride underway, you will see information about that ride. I know you were trying to circumvent it, but I think this is neat.
I have to say, it's surprising Uber hasn't taken a greedy route and just allowing multiple cars to be dispatched.
I think this is a feature Uber needs to work on. They are losing rides by not letting people order multiple rides at once!
They must have the tech too with Uber business and Uber health. Those platforms can hail multiple cars at once.
