As a traveler abroad, exploring new places and seeking out adventures is part of the experience. But navigating public transportation in an unfamiliar country can be confusing, and rental cars are often costly.
That’s why using Uber overseas is often the best option.
But here’s the real question: how do you use Uber overseas if you don't have instant internet—and without racking up expensive roaming fees?
That’s where ConnectedYou prepaid eSIMs come in. They’re easy to install, provide instant connectivity, and keep your costs very low.
According to a research, the number of travelers using eSIMs is projected to grow to over 215 million by 2028, marking a 440% increase!
Whether you’re an international student, a tourist on a guided tour, or attending a destination wedding, an eSIM can be the most convenient way to use Uber abroad.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how you can use Uber abroad with a prepaid ConnectedYou eSIM.
What is an eSIM and Why Travelers Prefer It
An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is the digital version of a SIM card. It’s built directly into your device and lets you activate a mobile data plan without inserting a physical SIM. Once installed and activated, it connects you to data networks instantly.
How to use eSIM
As a traveler, you don’t have to worry about hunting for a local SIM store, swapping SIM cards, or facing expensive data roaming charges.
All you have to do is purchase a prepaid eSIM plan for your destination, install the eSIM on your device at home, and activate it upon arrival at your new location. That’s it, you get online at affordable costs.
With your prepaid eSIM ready, you can instantly book an Uber to take you to your hotel or any planned destination.
Using Uber overseas with a ConnectedYou eSIM ensures no delays and no stress in your travel.
Eco-Friendly eSIMs
Switching to an eSIM isn’t just a smart travel choice, it’s an eco-friendly one too. Unlike physical SIM cards that require plastic, packaging, and global shipping, eSIMs are entirely digital. This significantly reduces waste and emissions.
According to a market report, using an eSIM rather than a physical SIM helps reduce 46% of a physical SIM’s carbon footprint.
How much does an eSIM Cost?
An eSIM offers an affordable way to stay connected abroad, with prices starting at just a few dollars per GB and coverage lasting up to 30 days.
ConnectedYou offers different location eSIM plans, with various package sizes, allowing you to pick the right eSIM data plan that fits your budget.
