You Can Now Book Ola or Uber Directly From Google Search

Google today announced that users can now book Ola or Uber cab services directly From Google Search. On this app, you will see a tab for ride services, both Uber and Ola, with fare estimates and pick up times if a car is available near their location. Besides this, the users can also find directions from Google Search App or through the mobile search browser.

On request for specific information such as “Taxi to Bangalore airport” or more specifically “Uber to Bangalore airport” or “Ola to Bangalore airport”, the app/ browser directs the user to select a service and automatically opens the app to book the ride, all in just one tap. In cases where the app is not installed on the device, Google Search will show a link to install the app.

“Choosing the best transit option can be a task at times, our aim is to help users simplify their everyday travel. With this, users will be able to order, explore and make quick comparisons about the best estimated taxi fare directly from Google Search results on their mobile,” said Sanket Gupta, Program Manager, Google.
