Guatemala yesterday welcomed into its market the U.S. application found in more than 70 countries and 480 cities. Among those who joined in congratulating the arrival of Uber to Guatemala was the United States Commercial Service.

“This country has all the potential to receive Uber, and we are sure that Guatemalans will find the benefit of a new alternative to get around efficiently and comfortably. We wish success to this American company in its incorporation into Guatemala,” said U.S. business representatives to Summa Business Magazine.

Uber was very pleased to announce this new operation, and with it, a continuation of fulfilling its mission of offering safe and efficient transportation for people – in a few minutes and with the push of a button – for that reason the first trip people take will be totally free.

Uber arrives to offer an accessible option that will allow Guatemalans to travel whether for nighttime outings, to get to work, or just for a safer way to get around.

In addition, the platform brings the latest technology: Users can request a trip through the application and wait for the vehicle to arrive safely. Both the user and the partner know the details of the trip before, during and after the trip.

In addition, the application allows travelers to view the route on a GPS from the beginning to the end of the trip, and the user can share it with a family member or friend. This feature allows people to track trips in real time for greater control and safety.

Uber continues its expansion worldwide, its commitment to Latin America is without a doubt the best example of its growth in a region with a high demand for better and safer transportation services. – Summa Magazine
