Uber In Lagos Is Rewarding Riders For Being Good

Uber has just announced the launch of UberVIP - a monthly rewards program in Lagos that pairs VIP riders with top driver-partners in top quality cars. As a VIP rider, you'll also get priority access to discounts and exclusive offers.

So, what do you need to do to become UberVIP? Basically, be a good person and ride with the Uber platform.

Uber will notify you by email once you qualify for VIP, at which point the VIP option will be visible in the Uber app.

In case you want more specifics than being virtuous, here's what Uber says:

1. Take 10 rides in Lagos from the first of the month.

2. Receive access to an exclusive VIP option in your Uber app.

3. Enjoy elevated service, exclusive giveaways, and more!

4. Keep riding (at least 10 times/month) to keep your VIP status – we’ll keep you updated on your progress.

5. Remain a 5 star rider to keep your VIP status

While riding UberVIP won't cost you anything extra, you should note that your wait time might be longer since there aren't many VIP cars in Lagos.

Is it worth it? Probably sometimes, but it might take a while to have UberVIP running as efficiently as UberX.

What are your thoughts, Lagosians?
