Uber offering free trips to Sunderland's Nightingale Hospital for vaccinations - here's the CODE you need

In line with the cost of an average fare, Uber will cover up to £15 of passengers’ trips by entering the correct promotion code for the mass-vaccination hub they are travelling to in the app ahead of booking their journey.

The code for Sunderland Nightingale is UBERUKCL.

The free trips, which are being offered to a number of mass vaccination hubs across the country, will help the most vulnerable travel safely to receive the life-saving coronavirus vaccine.

Thousands of riders have already claimed a free trip to the original seven mass-vaccination hubs, enabling people to receive the jab and supporting the UK Government as it fights the coronavirus pandemic.

Jamie Heywood, Uber’s Regional General Manager for Northern and Eastern Europe, said: “It’s vital that the most vulnerable people in our society are vaccinated against the virus as soon as possible, and we want to help remove any barriers that could prevent them from travelling safely to get their jab.”

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Uber has introduced a number of safety measures to ensure the safety of everyone who uses the Uber app including drivers who aren’t exempt having to verify they are wearing a mask with a selfie before they accept trips.

For more information about how to claim one of up to 30,000 free trips, and for the full list of hubs that are included in this offer, go to uber.com/ukvaccines.

Passengers looking to use the discount for trips to Sunderland Nightingale should enter the promo code UBERUKCL in the Wallet section of the Uber app.
