Ride with Uber and kick off the season with ease

Ready to hit the books? With September just around the corner, it’s time to get planning for the final stretch of the academic year. You know the drill: work out your schedule, grab your notes and open the Uber app for all the reasons we’re about to list.

Be on Time for Class

Make the most of everything your professor has to teach. Using Uber to request a ride to class saves you time during the morning and means that finding a seat on a packed bus is one less thing you need to worry about.

Get Rid of the Guesswork

In a rush to get somewhere and don’t have time to worry about getting lost? Uber’s sophisticated GPS system helps your driver take care of that, so all you have to do is sit back and relax. It’s perfect for days when you’re going to a lecture hall for the first time, or if you’re meeting friends somewhere new. You can also track your journey in real time on the app, so you’ll know exactly where you’re going in the future.

The Project Dash

For the lucky first years who haven’t yet discovered it, the dissertation dash is when you’ve got 10 minutes left until your project deadline and you’ve got to head quickly to the drop-off box. As much fun as it is to sprint past your fellow students and exchange maniacal looks, you can save yourself the stress by ordering an Uber. It also means you can get back home to take a nap as quickly as possible afterwards.

No Need for a Designated Driver

Throw away the handful of straws you were about to draw. Uber eliminates the need for nominating a designated driver on a night out, so you can all join in the flatmate-bonding. If there’s a group of you heading out together, you can use the Fare Split feature to share the cost without having to worry about collecting it from each other later.

Get Home Stress-Free

Whether coming back from a night out or a day at uni, a reliable ride is at your fingertips. Uber is a 24/7 service, which means that as long as one of our partner-drivers is online in your area, you can request a stress-free ride home.

Quick Trips to the Train Station

Going home for the weekend? Don’t worry about lugging your suitcase onto the bus. An Uber trip is the easy way to get you and all your essentials to the train station and back home again.

Quick, convenient and stress-free: that’s what we call first class!
