Hi friends,
Today I had my first Uber experience. It was a very long day with my son, Mom, and all kinds of stuff in our large city. I have trouble driving on freeways. I get really panicky. So I took an Uber home.
What I didn't expect was the price- 23.50. For some reason I thought it was a lot cheaper. And I gave him a 5.00 tip, which I wanted to do. So it was almost 30.00
I only took it one way.
Experiences?
Thanks

The price of Uber depends on when it is and where you are going. It isn't constant. If you are riding in the off hours it can be pretty cheap, but if you're going somewhere during a busy time to a busy spot, it can get expensive quick. That's when it is likely cheaper to take a cab. They have set rates.

I did get the cost up front. I just thought it would be cheaper. It was rush hour, which may have something to do with it. The car was immaculate and the drive was fine. I think it is definitely a good idea in many cases.
I don't know where I got the idea that it was cheap.

My only problem with Uber is what happens if there is an accident? Do the drivers carry extra insurance to cover if you are hurt badly? The minimum requirements in most states aren't going to cover the cost of something like life flight or even a complicated injury.
