The features are described briefly below so you can get an idea about how of all it works and it will provide you aid in navigating the app.

New “Details” feature

The new Details option could provide aid to you and your Careem driver which is termed more commonly as “Captain”. When you choose you pick up location tis option will be shown to you.

Right after you pick a location, a grayed “Details” button appears right next to your selection, and you can tap it to manually input booking details to make it easier for a Captain to find you.

Scheduling & Ride Type

Careem has come up with a quicker way to schedule your rides with the new update of the app. All you would need to is click on the calendar button which has been made bigger and more prominent in order to instantly set the booking time by making use of the vertical slider given.

Moreover, you are also provided with a pop out drawer from which you can opt for the type of ride you would like to book.

Plus the interface has been more towards the bottom of your phone so it is very easy to use the app with using only one hand.

This new moving of the interface has arranged all the options in a place where you can easily have access to all of them especially when you can only use one hand to use your smart phone.

This new interface could prove to be quite helpful for people in hurry as most of us are when we need to get somewhere quickly and need a cab for that.

Fare estimate

Before the latest update of the Careem app, customers had to go through the hassle of a new window in which you could see the fare estimate for your drop off place.

It was hard to look for the fare estimate in one window and then track your “Captain” in another window. The problem is solved with the new update.

With the new update you can book your ride and see the fare estimate along with it without going through the hassle of opening a new window just to look for the fare. It will show up right next to your selected drop-off location.

Rate and tip your Captain

The process of saying thanks to your Captain after you had a comfortable trip or ride has become a lot simpler with the new update.

After every ride you will be provided with the option for rating your Captain on the scale of 1 to 5 as you will be shown five stars.

You can easily rate your 4 or 5 stars if you have had a satisfying and comfortable ride. After the rating you will see the option for tipping your Captain as a manner of saying thank you.

You can either choose one of the three default amounts, or you can enter a custom amount. As always, tipping is completely optional.

If you leave a tip, you will receive two separate charges, one for the ride fare and one for the tip. This feature will be gradually rolled out over the next few days.
