*Free rides will be applied automatically through May 16, 2014, at 11:59 PM MDT. Rides must begin in Colorado Springs. Rides are free up to $25 — if your fare exceeds $25, the difference will be charged to your account on file. Availability may be limited at times.

We’re bringing uberX to Colorado Springs!

uberX is a ridesharing service that allows you to get a reliable ride at prices cheaper than a Colorado Springs taxi. Drivers on uberX have mid-range or hybrid vehicles in a variety of colors and styles, with seating for at least four passengers.

Full details on Uber in Colorado Springs can be found on our Colorado page here.

City Councilmember Jan Martin was the first to take a spin around Colorado Springs with uberX. Councilwoman Martin, a native of the Springs, recognizes the need for a new, more reliable way to get around the city. “We don’t have a lot of options for transportation downtown – it’s difficult for the buses to navigate in here, so this is a really nice alternative to ride around the city,” she said as she requested her uberX at City Hall. “Sometimes people don’t look at growth from the other side of the spectrum; we need more jobs and a company like this can help bring in similar growth”

There’s never been a better time to drive with Uber. With ever-increasing demand, greater trips per hour, and new cities launching every day, drivers on Uber make more money than with any other ridesharing platform or taxi company. Period.

Start enjoying your free rides today! If you don’t see an Uber at first, don’t worry! Just refresh your Uber app again after a few minutes to request a ride & you’ll be on your way.
