As already said Les yes you download app here and set up your payment details... I hadn’t used it before our last trip either but I found it really good. You know exactly what time they are going to arrive, the car you are looking for and your drivers name. We will be using it again this year... but don’t know how the merger with Mears will effect the prices as UBER were so much cheaper!

Always remember when getting in an Uber always ask the driver for your name .. for your own security

Uber were half the price of Mears so will follow with interest if anyone posts the fares after the merger

Three weeks ago when we were in the US a poor girl was murdered in South Carolina as she got into a car believing it was her UBER , so really it’s not a joking matter ( I know it wasn’t you who made the joke )
But it could happen in any ride taxi, Lyft etc UBER does have the record of the driver and the route and a lot of UBERS now have an UBER sticker in the window .
I still use UBER but always ask who it’s for before getting in .
If they don’t know , they aren’t genuine as your name comes up on their app when you book.

Were you aware a girl was murdered three weeks ago as she got into a car in South Carolina believing it to be her UBER ? The news coverage of her family the US was heartbreaking.
