[UPDATE, April 18, 2017: Uber for Business now lets users request and pay for rides for others. The account is centrally billed. Uber business clients access the "Central" service dashboard via tablet or computer. They can request multiple rides for fellow employees, customers or others. Those riders do not need to use the Uber app or have their own Uber account. They're connected to driver via SMS messaging or phone calls. A limited "demo" is available to standard Uber for Business accounts; regular use of Central requires an upgrade to the Premium tier.]
