Today was my first experience using uber during the day to run a few errands. I've been in uber cars previously but with friends using their account and I can't account for how quickly we were picked up or what the cost was. My once old reliable car sprung a few leaks from various parts of the cooling system so it was towed to the shop and I'm stuck at home but had a doctors appointment close by so decided to give it a try. For the trip there I had a car at my house in 3 minutes, on the trip back around 5 minutes, paid $5 each way, much better and faster option than bothering a friend for a ride. When I finally received a call my car was fixed and ready for pickup, again had a car in 5 minutes for a cost of under $7. I would assume rides around old town at night would not be as much of a bargain but I am pleased with today's service.
