User Reviews
Use Uber in every city I travel to — it's reliable and I always know what I'll pay before I get in. The scheduled rides feature is perfect for airport trips. Only wish surge pricing wasn't so aggressive during rush hour.
As a woman who goes out on weekends, the safety features give me real peace of mind. I share my ride with my roommate every time, and knowing there's an emergency button is reassuring. Drivers are almost always polite and professional.
Sold my car because Uber is cheaper in my city. Between UberX for daily commutes and Uber Eats for dinner, this one app handles a huge part of my life. The loyalty points are a nice bonus too.
