You guys made me sign into PP solely to comment on this thread...

Huge +1 to the above! I had heard of Uber but had never used the service in Houston. I traveled to Chicago a few weeks ago, and now I am absolutely hooked. I used Uberx and had great experiences with 99% of the drivers. It was easy to use. Very easy to use.

The one thing I actually enjoy about Uber is that once you step out of the car you are asked to submit a review. Now, this may seem like a pain if you are in a rush, but it's actually really works!

My friend and I were traveling to a specific destination which I knew roughly where it was located. The guy really could have made a few better turns (it geniunely looked like he thought he knew where he was going) but after getting out of the car knew he could have done better. After getting out of the car I was prompted to rate the driver. Car was on-time, spotless, and professional. He just managed to get lost with the help of a GPS. I knocked it down to 3 stars because I really thought he should have known where to go. ISYN, within ten minutes I had an email from Uber saying that they had reviewed the route and agreed that his route wasn't really optimal and refunded me the money! Now I am not being judgemental... but try and do that with archaic Yellowcab!
