Just finished three Uber rides in a week. It was a very good experience. I had to update my credit card in the system since the last card timed out and also added Pay Pal as an option.
So all you do is stand outside where the satellites can see, you hit the Uber icon and enter the name or address of the place you are going to. You make a choice on whether you’ll accept a basic car or an upgraded car, chose your payment method and submit. It comes up with the flat non negotiable price. If it sounds good to you, you accept. It comes up with the car description, driver’s first name and license plate. It also shows a map showing where the car is on a google type map and how many minutes it is away. Hop in and your phone shows the map, the same one the driver sees. If he misses a turn there is no increase in price just a change in ETA. You can automatically tip by hitting the button. At the destination you can just say goodby and walk out. No transaction required.
In all theee cases I got a newish Toyota Corrolla with a driver with a limited English vocabulary, but cheerfull and happy to be driving. If you want some reading material there is info on the driver’s safe driving experience. Totally satisfied with the service and cost. Try it out. Don’t drink and drive.
