Uber Errands by the hour is an option that allows customers to request a trip for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours to help with item delivery Errands. Instead of having to request individual one-way Uber connect trips.
How Does Uber Errands Work For Customers?
You can request a trip for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours to help with item delivery errands.
When you enter multiple destinations, make sure you consider the commute between them so that you can book the appropriate time. If the Errands should take longer than the time that you initially requested, additional time and distance charges will be applied.

- Select “Start a delivery” and then choose “Deliver by the hour.”
- Select how much time you need to complete your item delivery Errands.
- Enter the pick-up address and each of your stops. You can add or change your stops at any time during the trip.
