Newcastle, your Uber is arriving now

Newcastle has a reputation for being home to footballing legends, world-class musicians, the lady with the most luscious locks in the business – and, of course, the best night out in Britain. And, as of today, we’re proud to announce Uber is part of the Toon!

So if you’re catching the match at St James’ Park, wining and dining on the Quayside or planning a cultural day out at Grey Street, you’ll never be more than a tap away from a reliable ride home. With fares on average 10% cheaper than competitors, you’ll find Uber a right bobby dazzla when it comes to stretching your weekend budget that bit further – as well as being a safe and easy way to get around!

How do the fares add up?

How does it work?

• Download Uber onto your phone and create your account
• Position the pin on the map at your current location to request a car and track its arrival in-app
• Use the in-app fare estimator to see how much your trip will cost
• Share your ETA to let the folks at home know when you’ll be arriving
• Sharing an Uber with friends? Split the fare to share the cost and see your savings stack up

So, what are you waiting for, Newcastle? It’s time to start requesting! The first 150 riders will also find a special surprise waiting for them in their car.

We’re working hard at getting more cars onto the road as the weeks progress, so if you can’t get a car first time round, keep trying. If you’ve got feedback or a quick “howay man!” to send our way, you can get in touch by emailing support.newcastle.uk@uber.com or tweeting @UberUK
