Gett rivals #UberIceCream with champagne delivery

Taxi app Gett is rivalling Uber’s recent ice cream promotion by offering customers champagne on demand.

Gett partnered has with Veuve Clicquot to deliver bubbly to Londoners within 10 minutes of ordering within Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, the City, Knightsbridge, Belgravia or Kensington, between four and 10pm.

The service It costs £50 to have one of Gett’s cab drivers-in-training deliver a chilled bottle of Champagne and two flutes by motorbike. The promotion marks Gett exploring the possibility of becoming a logistics business, partnering with brands to deliver items to customers. Aside from its ice-cream partnership with Wall’s, Uber has previously partnered with Johnnie Walker, Spotify, Xiaomi, and Bacardi.

Gett CEO Remo Gerber said more brand partnerships would follow.”For the past five years, we’ve been moving customers around safely and now ‘Gett Clicquot’ will use the same business model to bring this revolutionary new service to Londoners”, he said. “This is the start of a wide new range of services to be offered through the Gett app. The consumer demand is enormous.”
