How to Use UBER

Using Uber is really easy. Here are the basic steps:

1. Apply a new account. A credit card will be needed.
2. Download the Uber app on your smartphone.
3. When you’re ready to go, set your pickup location and tap Request. If you want to know about how much your trip will cost, tap Fare Estimate.
4. Once the address or name of your destination is entered, you’ll see the route your driver will take as well as your ETA. No need to give directions.
5. Before your driver arrives, you’ll see their name, photo, car make and model, and license plate number—so you know you’re hopping in the right car.
6. If you’re sharing a ride with friends who have an Uber account, easily share the cost by tapping Split Fare.
7. If you want friends and family to follow your route and know when to expect you, you can send a text message through the app with a link to your trip.

Rate Your Uber Drivers

Once you finish a ride, the Uber app will prompt you to provide a star rating for your driver. Please give a 5-star rating if your ride was safe and reliable. The rating is very important to Uber drivers because it is a measure that Uber uses to evaluate drivers’ performance. For most people, on a scale of five, a 4-star rating may be good. But for Uber drivers, 4 stars are not good enough. When riders give anything below a 5-star, it brings down the driver’s average rating. An overall rating below 4.5 can lead to a driver being removed from Uber’s platform. Drivers try their very best to provide the best rides to customers. If you are happy with the ride, please provide a 5-star rating.

Why Ride with UBER

Uber is the largest rideshare company in the world. As of June 2016, its services are available in 490 cities worldwide. Uber connects riders and drivers via smartphone apps. When a rider needs to go somewhere, she requests a ride on the app. A driver nearby answers the request then drives to the rider’s location and take her to her destination.

Payment for the ride is handled by Uber and charged to your credit card on file. There is no cash exchange between the rider and the driver. Therefore, once your account is established, you can request a ride anytime.
