UBER users who open the app in towns and cities it does not serve will be connected with local private hire and taxi drivers, the company has said.
The service will be possible due to the firm's agreement to acquire tech firm Autocab, which provides operators with software to run their business.
Users will still pay for their journey through the app.
Uber said hundreds of thousands of people open the app each month in places where they cannot request a ride. These locations include Aberdeen, Swansea, Doncaster and other places.
Jamie Heywood, Uber's regional general manager for northern and eastern Europe, said: "Autocab has worked successfully with taxi and private hire operators around the world for more than 30 years and Uber has a lot to learn from their experience.
"We look forward to working with the Autocab team to help local operators grow and provide drivers with genuine earnings opportunities."
Autocab chief executive Safa Alkatab said: "Autocab has been working with local operators across the world to provide the technology to make them more efficient and open up a marketplace to provide more trips.
"Working with Uber we can scale up our ambitions, providing hundreds of thousands of additional trips for our customers, and help cement the place of licensed operators in their local community."
Uber said Autocab will "remain independent" following the acquisition and will maintain its own board.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
