With only a few taps on the app, you can quickly add a stop to your journey. Using the Uber app, you can make up to two stops between your pickup location and final destination.
However, keep in mind that your costs will rise in direct proportion to the distance and time added by your stops. Also, Uber multi-stop trips can be planned, or stops can be added after the vehicle is moving.
We’ll teach you how to add additional stops to the Uber app on your phone both before and during your Uber journey in this article.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a driver add a stop during an Uber trip?
If the passenger doesn’t request it, drivers are not supposed to make additional stops. You can report it on this website and ask for a refund if you were charged more than what Uber initially indicated because your driver made an unauthorized stop. Also, you can do it via your app’s help menu or trip history.
Can I request the same Uber driver?
After finishing a journey, an Uber passenger cannot automatically request the same driver.
If, however, you intend to order a new ride immediately after finishing the current one, you can instruct your driver to wait at the location.
When taking a ride, your driver will only receive a summary of your journey, so talk to them in advance about the specifics of your trip; otherwise, they could mistake it for another and accept that one.
