NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ahead of the busiest holiday travel season in recent years, CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company and Uber (NYSE: UBER), have announced a partnership that will integrate Uber's ride platform directly into the CLEAR app's "Home to Gate" feature. With this partnership, CLEAR app users will be able to use the Home To Gate feature and its data driven insights to find out exactly when to leave for their flight and reserve an Uber ride ahead of time - creating a more seamless, predictable travel experience.

CLEAR's free Home to Gate in-app feature analyzes traffic data, security screening wait times, and airport walking distance in the terminal to tell you when to leave your home or hotel and arrive at your gate on time for take off. The integration with Uber will further improve that experience by allowing you to reserve an Uber ride ahead of time with just a tap. Home to Gate builds on CLEAR's history of frictionless travel solutions including, expedited airport lanes, biometric boarding and lounge access, and Health Pass for travel.

"Travel is surging back this holiday season, and together with Uber, we are helping travelers have a more predictable and stress-free travel experience," said Caryn Seidman-Becker, CEO of CLEAR. "Home To Gate is the next step in our mission to create frictionless experiences and we are proud to have Uber along for the ride."

"We're thrilled to partner with CLEAR to alleviate some of the holiday travel stress," said Dennis Cinelli, Uber Head of Mobility, US & Canada. "As we look to a busy holiday season, we're focused on getting travelers where they need to go as quickly and easily as possible. Our integration with CLEAR will take the guesswork out of travel and give users peace of mind knowing they'll get to the airport on time."
