The cross-state rivalry game has arrived! As the cardinal and gold fight to keep the trophy for another year, we’re giving you the chance to show support for the home team, in the Uber app.

The Game Plan

• Fire up your Uber app on Saturday, September 12 starting at 8am
• Request a ride from the HOME or AWAY team option at the bottom of the screen*
• Follow us on twitter @Uber_Iowa as we share in real time which team is the Uber fan favorite

*Pricing and ETAs will be the same for both the home and away team rides.

Your Game Day Playbook

• Run a Fare Estimate to quote the cost of your trip before you request – it’ll even account for surge pricing.
• Request your ride away from the crowds for the most seamless pickup possible.
• 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 big game, 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 ride.

Go Cyclones!
