Are rates the same across AU & how do they compare to, eg, Hire Cars & Taxis?
Adelaide ("UberBlack" service is your only choice…:
Base fare: $6.00
$0.40 per min
$1.40 Per Km
Min fare: $20.00 <== THAT'D BE HIGHER THAN TAXIS
Cancellation fee: $10.00
Decades ago, the Netherlands (or was it cities there?) allowed
people to pick-up hitchhikers, by issuing ID's to [both the
driver &] the riders.Making transport affordable & convenient "to all" has to have
contributed to Holland's high ranking on "Happiness" indices.PS Hey Uber, consider an UberMates class:
Someone comes with whatever -safe- registered car they have &
- just in-case - bring along an oversize seat & floor covers,
to put down, an-needed, for anyone needing transport after work,
& they might be dressed in soiled work clothes… painters,
oil-rig workers, garbo's, etc.(Medical "scrubs" extra, due to Ebola risk)
It's gotta be cheap to add new services to Uber's (& others')
web site or app (I can imagine the background for UberMates!)Seriously, if it helped to raise incomes of drivers & let the
riders save more of theirs… Could it be so bad?PS I won't go into details about our (proposed) UberObese idea… ;-)
If you use Uber, how do you know the car you get is legal and properly registered?
I've heard a lot of the drivers are not covered by insurance because they are just private cars.
As a passenger, does this matter?
I guess if you are injured you might not be covered by the driver's insurance.
Some years ago, a woman was left mostly paralyzed after her car was stuck - head-on - by a drunk/drugged guy swerving inti=o her lane… Of course, he had no insurance…
In SA - at the time - costs arising from her injuries was covered by some sort of fall-back insurance… In fact, she rec'd what was (then) the highest "payout" ever awarded [in SA].
Is there any similar protection, eg, for in the case of injuries, arising from riding with someone driving (paid or not) their [effectively] unregistered vehicle?
If you're injured in a car accident, car insurance never pays for medical help, that's all TAC, hence why it's so expensive
if not then uber will cover you :)

If it's UberX, then it is a private car.
UberBlack, UberLux, UberSUV are all regiered hire cars (HC plates) with appropriate registration, insurance and licensing.
Does this stack with a referral link?
Or does it need to be entered when the new user signs up?I get "A new user promotion is already applied to your account."
Haven't taken a ride yet (therefore haven't used the last promo code CPREADER14). I thought it would of expired but apparently not.
no yes :)
For those in perth use 'XPRESSMAG' for $40 off your first ride. I used it on the weekend, no problem
how did you know if the voucher has been used? I took one on the weekend using the Grand Design promotion code, however I was still charged for the fare although I have the code validated.
I wrote to Uber to resolve.
Uber issued a refund for the taxi fare.. all sorted.
New users of…?
Maybe put Uber in the title.
