$15 off Uber when booking thru Google Maps mobile app (new & existing)

+36 Deal Score
69,847 Views
I'm seeing this in NJ in Google Maps iOS app. Cannot confirm for other localities or operating systems so YMMV.

Steps:

* Open Google Maps app
* Enter address to destination
* Hit button to get directions
* Select the "Taxi" routing option (usually 3rd or 4th from the left)
* You should see a black banner that says "Book an Uber now to get $15 off"

There is no info on the banner or in the app about expiration of this deal or any T&C.

This worked for me and I'm a longtime existing customer.

Some users have reported seeing this offer in Google Maps and being able to use it as an existing user. YMMV obviously.

This is to celebrate that uber rides can be completely booked via the Google maps app instead of opening the uber app in the middle of the process.

I didn't need to enter a code to use it. It booked the ride completely within Google Maps without leaving the app and applied the fare said "FREE" since it was under $15.

All you have to do is open the ride services tab on Google Maps and tap on "REQUEST" to take a ride. For a limited time, all new riders in the U.S. will receive $15 off their first ride.

This is to celebrate that uber rides can be completely booked via the Google maps app instead of opening the uber app in the middle of the process.
