This is the most awesome practical transportation service!
A friend left me stranded at the airport. Uber became my transportation best friend. I got a trip estimate, made my arrangements on the internet, immediately got a call from my driver, and he arrived to pick me up within 5 minutes. Don't make the arrangements until you are ready to be picked up. They are fast!!!! I also watched his route to my pick up point on the apps map. The driver was awesome and the complete experience was amazingly comfortable. I give UBER 10 plus.
Don't waste your money or time on frustrating taxi's any longer. Uber beats the taxi prices hands down!
UPDATE!! Okay, I became a driver for a short time. Eye opener!!! My viewpoint of my experience: I feel they overcharge customers and underpay drivers. The predetermined fee, I believe is based on the longest route which the customer must agree to and pay for. The driver, I believe, is paid based on the shortest route. Drivers must agree to their BS. Passengers will cheat the hell out of you and never blink an eye and they slam your car door. They rarely tip even if you go the extra mile to offer them water. I hear that they also include their percentage that they take as income paid to you. I have all my records. We'll see at tax time. Uber su**s!! So glad Travis is gone!!!!
