Using Uber at the weekend

[01Car]

Is it likely to be more expensive on a Friday or Saturday evening as opposed to midweek if it's busier? We're planning on possibly going to the Rodeo or Capones. A bit concerned that a $20 trip could end up being a lot more.

Price surging can happen at any time. You are shown this info before you book a ride so you can decide to wait a bit for the increase in price to drop. I think that you can set an alert to tell you when it's back to normal.

we used Uber for a short journey from Universal to I-Drive on a Saturday last year, we had no extra "surge" pricing just because it was a Saturday.

It's a lottery. Use a proper metered taxi that way you know what you're paying and you're helping the local economy and not filling the pockets of huge corporations AGAIN.

in my experience of using Uber in Orlando its not a lottery at all, I had better service using them compared to the Mears metered taxis I used.

well said

i have to laugh a some people would they use say tesco if the eggs where £1 one day but if they had only a few boxes left they are now £10 no there would be an outcry and a boycott...

uber are a scum company who bully drivers and do not pay tax

people should open their eyes to the longer picture here,uber has been in glasgow for a about 6 months hardly any cars and rumours that there 1 year licence will not be renewed because of the pricing as they charge what they want when proper taxis are metered.


this is my last opinion on uber as some would use them to save $1 wonder if they would do the same if it affected them like the tax avoidance affects the poor people in the uk...

rant over

The same people come on to every Uber thread posting the same old... wondering what is their actual experience of Uber,or is it all just something they read online.
I'm a big fan of Uber, love that they actually converse with their passengers and don't sit driving along with a phone stuck to their ear like almost every Mears cab I've ever taken over there.

Do you have a first time user code..there's usually one going around giving you a $20 credit off your first Uber journey.

We have just come back from Orlando. We used Uber loads... Always good prices. Always good time to pick up. Could not fault them. Will use again in the summer.
I thought the system was very easy to use as long as you have wifi

New user code from American Airlines for $20

"AA20"
