Today, the cab service provider has introduced UberX - a more affordable cab service, in 3 cities - Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

UberX aims to offer customers a similar luxurious experience at lower costs. The cars offered to ferry passengers are mainly C-segment sedans like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Nissan Sunny, Ford Fiesta and Toyota Etios. The booking process for UberX services is via the Uber app using a smartphone only, and the fare is deducted from the customer's credit card on reaching their destination.

The UberX service will directly compete with radio cab services, such as those offered by Meru and Easy Cabs.
