Uber is offering NHS staff free meals and trips to support those working on the frontline of the coronavirus crisis.

Anyone working in the NHS can visit Uber.com/NHS to receive free rides and meals

It’s committed to providing 200,000 free trips to NHS staff, worth up to a value of £15 each and helping to save staff from having to use the London Underground during the crisis.

Uber Eats is also offering 100,000 meals, available through a £10 voucher that can be used in thousands of restaurants and convenience stores across the UK.

The latest initiatives come on the back of Uber’s existing offer of free rides for NHS workers on its Jump electric bike sharing scheme.

The free rides and meals can be claimed by anyone with an NHS email address, including many of the 300,000 nurses in the UK.

Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO, Uber said: “The incredible nurses, doctors and support staff of the NHS are doing heroic work at the forefront of this crisis, and everyone at Uber thanks them for their extraordinary efforts. We hope we can help in a small way with meals and transportation as they work tirelessly day and night.”

NHS staff members can visit uber.com/NHS to learn more about accessing their free ride and Eats promotion code as well as the terms and conditions that apply.
