In Google Maps, search for the address or the name of your desired destination, then tap Directions. Tap the rideshare services tab (the person with a suitcase) to see the Uber ride options listed, possibly along with options from other services such as Lyft.

In 2026, Google Maps acts as an aggregator for multiple rideshare services, including both Uber and Lyft, depending on your geographic location. When you search for directions and tap the "ride-hailing" icon (usually a person waving or a car symbol), the app displays a list of available options with estimated wait times and prices. You can choose either Uber or Lyft directly from this list; tapping your preferred option will typically deep-link you into the respective app to finalize the booking. While Google removed the ability to complete an Uber booking entirely within the Google Maps app several years ago for security and data reasons, it remains the primary tool for price-comparing the two services. In some international cities, you may also see local alternatives like Bolt, Grab, or Ola. For the most accurate results, ensure you have both the Uber and Lyft apps installed and that "Personalization" is enabled in your Google account settings to see your specific rewards or loyalty pricing.
