My experience with Uber is limited, we used it for about a week on our honeymoon in California, but it is very positive.

Total trips would be somewhere around a dozen, and I rated all of them 5 stars. Every driver was polite, prompt and understanding. I even screwed up a few times and dropped the pin in the wrong spot, so they went to pick me up at my drop off point. I got a "No worries, honest mistake, on my way" response the first time. I obviously tipped generously to make up for my error.

Every car was in great shape, clean enough to eat off and the driver was very professional. I chatted with all of them and for some it was a part time gig they did in the evenings and weekends on top of their 9-5. Others it was full time, but either way they took it very seriously and were adamant about making it a great experience for you.

On top of all of that, the rates were cheaper than a taxi even while being a generous tipper.

So, more efficient, more enjoyable and more affordable. Why would you not use this service?
