I love, love, love Uber. A scary amount of people I know have DUIs and I am super careful/paranoid, which is why this service is so valuable to me. I don't want to end up hanging out with Sheriff Joe after all...
I trust that Uber has my back when I am out on the town. The drivers are always super nice and they arrive on time with a clean, well maintained car. As a single woman, it is incredibly helpful to know that all of the drivers are given a thorough check to ensure my safety.
If you are hiring a cab, download the Uber app. I haven't used another car service since I started riding with them.
