The food delivery platform added that it is growing its availability in existing regions, adding Paraparaumu and Feilding to its coverage near Wellington and Palmerston North.

“We’re incredibly proud of the positive impact Uber has had in Aotearoa over the last 10 years, and we’re excited to bring the convenience of Uber Eats to 12 new locations across New Zealand,” said Uber Eats Aotearoa general manager Andy Bowie.

“We know the hospitality industry is looking forward to a big summer, and this expansion means more Kiwis can experience the convenience of getting their favourite meals and grocery delivered straight to their doorstep, creating new opportunities for local businesses to grow and delivery people to earn.”

Uber Eats said the expansion will enable more merchants, eaters, and delivery people to use Uber’s technology to shop and earn.

Uber Eats made its New Zealand debut in 2017 when it was launched in Auckland by United States transport company Uber, which has been operating in New Zealand since 2014.
