Since the age of seventeen I have been a independent woman. I’d would walk everywhere I wanted and needed to go, but then there would be that special day, usually pay day, when I took a taxi to get my bi-weekly manicure. The trips across the busy streets of Dallas made me feel like a chauffeured princess. It had its advantages…and disadvantages.
Once in a while there were the few cabbies that were unreliable or would pick up someone else while I was melting in one-hundred degree heat… a less than pleasant experience. Then theres that exhausting experience of riding in cabs that have that mix of strong berry air freshener and Taco Bell; you had to hold your breath for the entire trip. Fear not my tweeties because that was then, this is now. Let me introduce you to my new personal driver – Uber
Uber is a new on call driver service available now in most major cities. You have a choice.. you can ride in clean, beautiful luxury cars often reserved for the well to do or successful business man at very reasonable rates. You can download Uber on the iOS App Store or Google Play, sign up is easy and free. After your initial download enter your personal and payment information (everything is secure)and you are ready for your first trip. You can even pay by Google wallet. Using Uber is so convenient, reliable and safe.
You can get a quote for your ride prior to your actual trip. You can even split the cost of the ride. Select the car you like ride in. You can choose between a xUber car – thrifty and chic or the UberLux car if you want to ride like a rock star in a high end sedan. You get a price right up front when you select your pick up and drop-off locations; tap on the car and you are off! At the end of the ride your card is charge the exact price that is quoted. Under settings you can select a tip rate and its automatically added to your payment.
