From the Back Seat to the Front Row: ACL Festival
Written byHey festival-goers! The chart-topping weekend you’ve been waiting for is finally here and we’re on hand to make your experience effortless – and exciting. We’ve partnered with ACL Festival to provide safe and reliable rides throughout the week.
SEAMLESS PICK-UP & DROP-OFF
- Uber’s designated Pick-up/Drop-off Location:
- Parking lot under MOPAC Pedestrian Bridge on Veterans Drive
- On your way to ACL Fest, let your driver know that you want to get dropped off in the Uber Drop-off Location on Veterans Drive under the MOPAC Pedestrian Bridge.
- Get home seamlessly by returning to the designated Uber Pick-up spot to request a ride and meet your driver.
- Having trouble requesting? From the festival grounds, walk towards the MOPAC bridge and try requesting again.
A RELIABLE RIDE, A TAP AWAY
PRO TIPS:
- Get a Fare Estimate for the cost of your trip before you request – it’ll even account for surge pricing.
- Split the Fare of your trip with friends for an even cheaper ride and everyone’s a winner!
- Use the Share My ETA feature so your crew can track your route in real time and know your expected time of arrival.
- With the solid lineup this year, demand will be high. Surge pricing allows us to remain reliable during peak demand. We’ll always notify you if surge pricing is in effect and ask you to manually type in the higher multiple before you can request a ride.
- Tap the “Notify Me If Surge Ends” button and confirm push notifications to receive an alert when surge pricing at your location drops.
- Be sure to hop in the Uber you requested. Check out the license plate info listed in your app to avoid taking someone else’s.
