Uber
 
I've just made an account because I'll probably use it in London :worry:
Is it any good? It irks me a little bit
Also what is the difference between Uber X/XL/The other one

azelf 04-08-2016 08:43 PM

where is it you're going again?

Will. 04-08-2016 08:45 PM

Yes! I use it all the time! I've spent so much money on it recently :shame:

Uber Executive is life, I love it! Especially the free bottle of water.

I've done about 30 journeys.

It's like a few pound different, I think like an £8 journey with Uber X would become like £11 with Exec.

But I've noticed you can get the same cars with X and Exec, so just use X really.

I always get paranoid when I set the pickup location as I worry the driver won't be able to pull up :laugh:

Using Uber is really fun though, you'll love it.

It's just the whole 'stranger can be hired quickly' thing that irks me but it's not that different to taxi is it?

I'll only be able to use it in London because it is available around here but not near me if that makes sense

Yeah, it can be worrying but I think because it's in London I don't mind and feel safe ish because there always so many people around.

The drivers I had are very passionate and you can tell they love driving :laugh:

I think maybe they treat children with more care probably because of the whole thing about it not being safe, like they ask how are you are etc.

The one time I used it with an adult (dad), the driver didn't say anything and was very quiet.

Do your payments go through properly all the time? I read it's only for 18+ or something

Uber scalps especially when they let you use their aux cable

I use my dads card, I could theatrically use it whenever I wanted and never need his card with me.

The first time I wanted to use it, I needed his card to scan and I didn't have it :laugh:

But after the card is scanned once, then you can use all the time without having the card present as the details remain stored.

Once a journey finishes you just have to rate the experience out of 5, and payment goes through automatically, you don't have to do anything.

Will. 04-08-2016 09:07 PM

Oh and your journey you get free, well I did.

I think it's up to £15, which is around 20 min journey.

I've asked so many times for my own card, but they won't give me access to my accounts because they think I'm going to spend it all :joker:

If you have to spend £3 extra for Exec the bottled water is not free honey.

You're being robbed.

You also get blacked out windows for privacy.

I love a good disco in the car.

the more it costs the more people you can seat/added bonuses or something
