¶ Use case

Use this endpoint to dispatch a “Flexible ride” on behalf of a guest. Call this endpoint on the day of pickup when rider is ready, and Uber would start preparing a driver dispatch. We recommend calling /v1/guest-trips-get following this request, in order to get latest information on trip details such as price, ETA etc.

The endpoint would return an error if the ride has already been redeemed by the guest.

Please note that this endpoint is only available for a Flexible ride type.

If the request is from a third party (3P) app, please add x-uber-organizationuuid header and the Organization UUID as the value or the request will be denied.

¶ Authorization

OAuth 2.0 Bearer token with the guests.trips scope.
