Uber, the U.S.-based company that provides private transportation services around the world, has decided to jump into boating as well. This means that you will be able to rent a boat fromUber’s smartphone app in several European locations, includingItaly. The service starts this summer and is set to expand in the coming years.
By opening the Uber app, if you are in one of the locations covered by the service, you will immediately have access to the boats available for rental. Booking is done directly from the app, and included in the rental price is the transfer from the hotel/home where you are staying to the boat and back, by Uber of course. You have to book at least 24 hours in advance, and rates vary from city to city.
