Uber is an incredibly popular ridesharing app. Recently, it revealed its aim to test flying cars in 2020. Without a doubt, Uber is committed to constant development. No matter how convenient it (here, Uber app) is, some do not have a clue at all (or confused about certain things) while using the app.
Do you want to know more about how to use Uber app? How to cash-in on promo codes? Fret not, we got your back! In this article, we’ve mentioned everything essential you would want to know about the Uber app and services.
A couple of years back, we were required to provide a bunch of information in order to sign up. Today, to sign up for an Uber account, you just need to provide your mobile number after having it installed on your device (Android or iOS).
You will receive an authentication code via SMS to verify whether the number belongs to you. After confirming the mobile number, you will have to enter a valid Email ID. That is just about it! You can now use the Uber app to book rides! (a mean of payments will be required later)
You can also sign up through a browser by visiting the Get Uber page.
Booking a ride is not a rocket science. However, you do not want to book an invalid ride. You have to be careful about the pickup location and destination (double check the city on the map… neighboring cities may have similar street names). So, here’s how to book an Uber ride:
You can observe the estimated cost while booking your ride. However, if you want to know about the detailed fair estimate (how it is calculated), you can tap on the “i” (information) icon after selecting the type of ride and then again tap on the “i” icon in the information window as shown in the image above.
If you prefer paying cash, there is nothing you need to do for the payment stuff. If you want to utilize a mobile wallet or debit/credit card, you would need to add the details first.
For new users, you can find a couple of promo codes which could give you 75% off or multiple free rides for a limited period. Unfortunately, that is not the case for existing users. If you are lucky enough, you could grab a sweet promo code being an existing user.
Whatever be the case, you can apply the promo codes through the Payment options. You will find the option to “Add Promo/Gift Code” right below the option to add a payment method. Simply, tap on it and enter the promo code and then apply it to enjoy the benefits.
