Nairobi. Uber Kenya
has signed partnership deals with nine firms in a move meant to make vital
services quickly available to its partners and drivers.
Uber partner
organisations include the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), MP
Shah Hospital, emergency services company Flare, car dealer Toyotsu, Huawei,
Techno, Essilor, Kingsway, and Telkom Kenya.
Uber will host the
businesses at its Greenlight Hub, a Nairobi-based resource centre that provides
technical support to drivers using the app.
“We listened closely
to thousands of drivers and from their feedback we were able to identify the
benefits they mostly want access to, and so Uber Rewards was developed,” said
Emmah Mutunga, Greenlight Hub manager for Uber in Kenya.

monthly basis while drivers visiting MP-Shah Hospital desk will receive regular
free medical checkups.
Essilor will offer
drivers free eye checkups regularly to ensure that they have healthy vision
thus promoting road safety.
Kingsway will offer
preferential discounts to drivers operating on the Uber app as well as a 30 per
cent discount on all service related products.
“Uber values
driver-partners and we are always looking to enhance their experience while
saving on their costs, in order for them to make the most from their small
businesses.,” said Uber’s general manager for East Africa Loic Amado.
We believe these
rewards will help drivers have a better driving experience when using the Uber
app.
