For those who don’t know, Uber is a mobile application that connects you to thousands of car drivers, that can pick you up from anywhere in your city and charge very reasonable price for the trip. You just have to install the Uber app on your phone and tell the location where you want to go, an Uber partner will arrive at your current location in its car.
You can also track the exact location of the driver and even share details about your trip with anyone. Furthermore, you get the option to pay cash or link your Debit / Credit card with Uber to pay via bank account.

We have set the standard for connecting people to world-class transport at the touch of a button and moving millions around the world every day.
