Here’s 9 PRO-TIPS for December.

1. CHOOSE uberX

Base rates can be 20-30% cheaper than a taxi.

2. FARE ESTIMATE

Get a fare estimate in the app before you ride. Before you request a ride, click ‘Fare Estimate’ and input your destination to see an estimated fare for your journey.

3. MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT

Log in online with your Uber account details to riders.uber.com, to manage your profile, payment methods, see a history of all your trips and download invoices.

4. SPLIT YOUR FARE

Invite your mates to chip in by using ‘Fare Split‘ while you ride. When in a trip, click ‘Fare Split’ and share the fare with your friends. Your fare will be split equally.

5. SHARE YOUR ETA

Running late? Let people know. Click ‘Share My ETA‘ while you ride. This will create a shareable link via SMS so that you can let others know exactly when you’ll arrive.

6. GET YOUR BOSS TO PAY

Spend 5 minutes setting up an Uber for Business account, just like Citibank, Deutsche and Freelancer have done.

7. LOST AND FOUND

Left your phone, sunglasses or shopping bags with your driver in the car? No problem at all! Log in at riders.uber.com/lost and we’ll assist you to contact the driver.

8. EARN FREE RIDES

Share you personal Uber promo code to give a friend $10 off their first ride. You’ll earn $10 off your next ride too. You can invite friends inside the Uber app by clicking share.

9. SURGE DROP

To help you get a ride during peak times, you may see surge fares on Uber – higher fares that encourage more drivers to come out when you need them most. You will always be notified in the app before you request your ride.

If you don’t need to ride immediately, you can wait for surge to drop. Just click ‘Notify me if surge ends’ to be notified when prices return to normal. You will always be notified in the app before you request your ride.

Below is an example of the surge pricing screen you may see.

Now you’re ready to ride like a PRO!
