It' an unregulated taxi service where "drivers" work part time hours at their convenience. They use their own car, but the car must pass certain standards.

It's very convenient for YOU because the app is on your phone and you enter your credit card info one time to start, and you never worry about it after that.

No cash changes hands, no tipping. You can get an estimate of the cost before you ride if you like.

When you "hail" an uber on your phone you immediately get a notification with with driver's name, make and model of car, license plate number, and a (generic) picture of said car. You can watch your driver approach on your phone map and see their ETA while you wait.

After your ride you immediately get an emailed receipt for your ride.

Almost always cheaper than a traditional cab.


Very convenient! Some people love it, some people would rather stay traditional.
