We've not arrived as late as you but have used uber and lyft before from and to the airport, plus around Orlando so I really think it will be fine.

Worst comes to the worst then as a back up plan I would head to the taxi rank and you will be able to get a taxi to your hotel...it will just be more expensive.

Hope someone can help. Looking to use Uber tomorrow evening for a date night (yay!) to Old Town.

Looked on the App and it's about $20 each way. I remember something about a discount code so have looked and tried a few of these, but none are working.

I think (?) the problem may be that I actually downloaded the app 2 years ago before our trip-that-never-was, therefore maybe any promo codes I would have been entitled to have long-since expired, despite me not actually ever having used Uber in the UK (or anywhere else).

Anyone got any ideas of how to sort it? My wife also has never used it but will not be able to use her phone on roaming (I'm the only one set up with roaming). If Old Town has wifi, that could be an option? Or should I set up a new account on my phone (however it seems it wanted to send a text when trying to do this on my wife's number - but as she's not on roaming obviously won't receive this).

Just conscious of getting stranded at Old Town. Maybe should use wife's on wifi to get us there (with applicable discount code), and mine to return?

Anyone got any better suggestions? Sorry bit meandering as I had a butterfly-brain moment.

Child seats?

What are the rules around car seats in relation to getting an Uber? Daughter is 7 and around 124cm in height.

I think you will need to select an ‘UberXcarseat’ option which costs a few dollars more. Go on the app and put in a sample trip and you will see the options if you scroll down.

Sorry to ask but would someone be able to refer me on Lyft or have a code? Planning to make some expensive trips with Lyft next month and every $ saved would be awesome

Happy to refer if someone else hasn't done so already 🙂

Not sure if it’s my account but I’m not having much luck with these referrals.

Again, Appreciate the offer
