It’s Halloween weekend in the Capital City and there are tons of spooktacular events in store. As you finalize your plans, keep in mind that this weekend will be one of those rare times when every witch, mummy and Miley look-alike wants to request at the same time. Here are some of our pro tips for you to enjoy a smoOoOoOth ride this Halloween weekend:

• Get a fare estimate. No surprises — estimate your fare in the Uber app before requesting a ride.
• Split your fare. Why do math or take turns paying when you can just split the cost of your ride with friends using the app?
• We’ll let you know the best time to ride. If surge pricing is in effect and you’d prefer to wait it out, set a notification and we’ll let you know when rates drop.
• Lost your wand/tail/wings? Don’t stress. If you leave something in an Uber, get in touch with your driver at riders.uber.com/lost/trips.
