MARDI GRAS PRO TIPS

Surge Pricing shouldn’t be a surprise. Get a Fare Estimate in the app before you ride. To avoid the highest fares, head to the festivities early or catch a ride after the parades have come and gone.

Use fare split if you’re rolling with the whole krewe. uberX can seat groups up to 4, while uberXL can handle parties up to 6 passengers. 

Due to road closures around the parade route, we recommend that you call or text your driver through the app to coordinate the best pickup location.  Confirm your driver’s car model and license plate in the app before you hop in your ride. 

Mardi Gras should be a fun time for all so please be considerate to your driver and follow our Code of Conduct so that everyone can enjoy the spirit of the season and every ride meets our standards for respect and common courtesy. For more tips, check out our blog post based on feedback from driver partners. 

Make sure you get don’t caught up in a cleaning fee by keeping the body paint and glitter in check to ensure there is no damage to your ride.

Leave your mask behind? Get in contact with your driver directly if you realize you left something behind. Problems with your trip? Reply to your emailed trip receipt or reach out to our support team and we can look into for you!
