It will send her a text/SMS with a link to complete her end of things and coordinate pick up. It charges to your card on file. I used to use it for employees all the time when hotel airport shuttles were suspended due to COVID.
Thanks, good info. Of course my mom' s phone number is a UK phone so I don't see Uber sending her texts (?) . It's an iphone so maybe that makes a difference. I can always put my number down instead and act as a relay for information. What would you do?
