Uber India has introduced the Uber Camper, a limited-edition stay-on-wheels service for the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 on October 14 in Ahmedabad. 

After the rush to get match tickets, the focus shifts to finding stay options in the host city as hotels in the city get sold out. With the imminent arrival of the match day, numerous cricket enthusiasts are actively seeking lodging options for the upcoming weekend and are exploring choices ranging from makeshift bread-and-breakfast places at high prices to reportedly booking hospital beds, the ride-hailing service stated.

The company’s offering is designed to beat the hotel booking blues while bringing a hassle-free experience of the iconic match.
