National, Oct 07th, 2023: Introducing the Uber Camper – a limited-edition service for the most anticipated cricket match that will provide fans with an opportunity to seal their spot for a memorable and exciting stay for FREE! Uber has a special surprise for cricket fans gearing up for the epic cricket battle between India and Pakistan as part of the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 on October 14.
After the crazy rush to get match tickets for the most anticipated clash is over, the focus has shifted to finding stay options in the host city Ahmedabad as hotels in the city are all sold out.
