Uber has rolled out a powerful new feature for drivers aiming to earn more efficiently: the Reservation Bundle. This feature allows qualified drivers to accept multiple scheduled rides in one batch — streamlining your route, improving your predictability, and boosting your income per hour.
What Is a Reservation Bundle?
A Reservation Bundle is when Uber groups together two or more scheduled rides, often back-to-back or along a logical route. This gives drivers the opportunity to complete multiple high-quality rides with fewer gaps between earnings.
Example: A driver may be offered a 5:30 AM airport pickup followed by a 6:15 AM pickup a few miles away. Both are pre-scheduled, high-reliability rides — and both are presented in a single offer.
Who Gets These Offers?
Reservation Bundles are not available to every driver — they are prioritized for those who consistently meet the following metrics:
- Acceptance rate above 85%
- Cancellation rate below 4%
- High reliability for previous reservations
- Uber Pro Gold, Platinum, or Diamond status
Uber’s algorithm favors drivers with a proven track record of punctuality and engagement. The more you accept and complete reservation rides on time, the more likely you are to be offered these bundles.
Strategic Benefits of Reservation Bundles
- Higher Earnings per HourBundled rides reduce downtime between trips and increase your overall revenue for the hours you're online.2. More Predictable Scheduling Drivers can plan their early mornings or late evenings in advance, building shifts around guaranteed bookings.3. Improved Ratings and Reliability Successfully completing multiple reservations improves your profile and signals Uber’s system to trust you with higher-value trips.4. Efficient Routing Bundled reservations often follow logical geographic paths, reducing dead miles and unnecessary repositioning.
How to Strategically Use Reservation Bundles
- Start Early: Log in around 4:30–5:00 AM to capture the most valuable bundles.
- Check the Route: Review the sequence of trips. Accept only if the routing makes geographic sense.
- Plan Gaps Wisely: If there’s a 30–60 min gap between rides, use that time to log expenses, reposition, or grab a short ride.
- Use Your Calendar: Schedule your day around reservation times and set alerts so you don't miss the window.
- Avoid Conflicting Trips: Do not accept standard trip requests that might interfere with the second leg of your bundle.
