Uber Black will include a diverse selection of premium compact SUVs and larger vehicles, along with a carefully chosen group of highly rated drivers. Passengers also have the option to customize their trip prior to departure—whether that entails adjusting the in-car temperature, receiving assistance with luggage, or opting for a quiet ride free from conversation.
Kaushalya Gunaratne, the Mobility Country Manager for Uber Sri Lanka, stated, “For over ten years, we have been dedicated to providing reliable mobility solutions for a wider audience across various price ranges. As the market progresses, we are also focused on offering riders more unique experiences tailored to their specific moments. With a spectrum of choices from affordable two- and three-wheelers to cars and now the premium Uber Black, we can better meet the diverse mobility needs of both locals and visitors, while also supporting the growth of the tourism sector in the country. The launch of Uber Black represents a significant advancement in our journey and exemplifies our goal to continually enhance on-demand mobility in Sri Lanka.”
