Trip report: Uber
I wrote about the car service Uber (read previous post here) and how to easily acquire
$45 in credits to try out their service. I put my credits to use
on my recent trip to West Hollywood. We
arrived at LAX and at the last minute I decided not to rent a car. So without any transportation I tried Uber, within
10 minutes I was sitting in a very nicely appointed current model black sedan with blacked out windows (its LA after all) enroute from
LAX to West Hollywood. The driver had
bottled water ready for us, stowed our bags and we were off. He was pleasant, sharply dressed (a suit and
tie) and within an hour we pulled up to the hotel, no money was
exchanged, no tip; it was inclusive for the rate. The ride was superb and I am so glad I had
that $45 credit to use. My out of pocket
expense was $18. Shortly after my
arrival at the hotel I received an email receipt and a request to rate the
driver. It was the easiest, most unstressful
airport pick up and so vey LA.
