Uber teams up with America Movil
Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Uber has signed a deal with billionaire Carlos Slim's America Movil to bring its app, which allows users to summon a car on their smartphones, to new customers in Latin America in a move it says could be a model for other regions.
Starting this week, the Uber app will be promoted on millions of Android phones that use telecoms company America Movil as their carrier, including 10 million in Mexico, Uber said.
Customers will get a $10.64 discount on their first ride, and Uber drivers in Mexico will get discounts on packages with Telcel, America Movil's wireless firm in the country.
