Discovery Insure clients get 25% off their Uber trips

With the enhanced DriveMe benefit, Discovery Insure clients can get home safely any time of the day or night. They can get 25% off the standard fee with Discovery Insure’s new DriveMe partner Uber. Uber collects clients from a location and drives them to their destination.

Up to 25% off with Uber

Discovery Insure clients get a flat 25% off all Uber trips, up to a maximum spend (before discount) of R1 000 per month per driver. Uber services are available in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town.

Discovery Insure clients who register with Uber for the first time get their first trip free, up to a maximum value of R250.  

To activate the benefit, simply SMS “UBER” and your ID number to 31347 from the cellphone number you have registered/will register with Uber. You’ll receive a confirmation SMS. It will take up to 10 days for your discount to become active.

Using Uber

It’s really easy to use Uber. You need to download the app on your iPhone, Android, Windows Phone or BlackBerry ® smartphone. If you don’t have one of these devices, you can access Uber on their mobi site, m.uber.com.

The Uber app has several useful features. It can find your location via GPS, show you approximately how far away the closest driver is and you can select your desired car option. With Uber, all pickups are made on demand and drivers arrive within minutes, so there’s no need to schedule a ride in advance.

You’re also able to rate your driver. Uber takes this feedback very seriously so that you can be assured of a high quality experience.

You can use Uber 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Just open the app when you’re ready to ride and it will connect you to a driver nearby.
