The countdown has started for the Amsterdam Dance Event! Running from 16 – 20 October, ADE is set to transform the capital into the world’s biggest electronic dance party. As a globally renowned festival and business event, it attracts thousands of electronic music enthusiasts from all around the world to engage with the industry’s leading producers, attend lectures and panel discussions, and of course, dance to the hottest new tracks. Naturally, Uber is an essential part of the event, transporting you and your friends around town as quickly and comfortably as possible. We’ve got some tips to help you navigate effectively during ADE!
Uber ADE tips
Ready, set, go!
As a wise man once said, “Be prepared!” To get ready for ADE, check that you have the most recent version of the Uber app, that your log-in still works, and that you have a valid payment method linked to your account. There’s nothing more annoying than finding out you can’t order a ride just as you’re ready to head out the door!
Keep your mates up to date
It’s easy to let your friends know where you are, whether you’re almost at the club, just about to pick them up, or safely home. Use the “Share trip status” button to tell someone about your ride and location. They’ll receive a link that allows them to track your ride live and see when you’ve reached your destination. Both practical and safety-conscious!
Good to know before you go
With over 400,000 visitors, Amsterdam will be extremely busy during ADE. High demand for transport may mean that we apply dynamic pricing – our way of ensuring that more drivers are out on the road. You’ll always get an idea of the price in the app before ordering your Uber trip, and if you feel the rate’s too high, just wait for a moment and then try again. Once the crowds have lessened, the dynamic rate will also go down.
Got the right ride?
Before getting in, check the model and license plate of the car to make sure you’re catching the right ride. The app also provides you with your driver’s name and photo so you can be doubly sure. You can find more tips and tricks about safety and Uber here.
Multiple stops
Naturally, you won’t be partying alone during ADE. If you want to pick up your friends or drop them off, simply add the address of your extra stop to your trip in the app so the driver knows exactly where to go. You can even use the “Add or Change” button during the trip to add extra stops – simply click the “+” sign at the top.
Going Dutch: Split your fare!
It’s easy to share the cost of your ride with your friends – just select “Split Fare” at the bottom of your screen during the trip. A hassle-free solution no matter who’s ordered the Uber!
Extra tips and tricks
Create your own program
There’s such a huge variety of artists and events at ADE this year, you’ll be completely spoiled for choice!
