Yes, the UBER website says it is ok, but the first few times I took one, they said no...and I have not tried again (just add it through the app). I did look it up at the time and apparently, some cities/states prohibited it. Maybe due to lobbying by the taxi companies.

When I took UBER in DC, it seemed the best way to make money was to be proactive and have a new rider lined up near the spot where you were dropping the person in your car. It was pretty impressive to watch as they were masters in squeezing though terrible traffic while lining up the next ride. I guess they were always looking for fares that took them to a target rich environment for the next ride.
