So the girl gets charged a cleaning fee, but Uber pockets that and reimburses you for the $6 car wash?

I saw some article floating around Facebook saying that the gov'ment was trying to shut down uber and the like in NC. Anyone know if this is true? I really hope not, and don't see why.

pro-tip, don't let drunk people eat in your car and you will have fewer drunk people throwing up in your car

For the smell try a odor eliminator fogger. I flipped used cars for a bit and had good luck with them, you lock the spray like a bug bomb then close your car and recirculate the air, the fogger has a biocide to kill bacteria and some are scented to mask other odors.

^ that seems like a good idea.. She had thrown up before we went to cookout. I wanted her to sober up a little because it was a pretty long gate.

Also I try to be accommodating when people ask to stop for food

you definitely have to document your cleaning expenses to get reimbursed. it won't be close to what uber charged her. the cleaning fee is mostly a punitive thing for the rider.

^^^this worked well for me:

also, for future reference, apply some kind of protector on your cloth/carpeting (scotchguard type stuff); and have puke bags in the back.

let us all remember to use the promo code "meganc3" for your first free UBER ride (up to $30). my friend used it on our trip from the airport in FL this weekend, and I used the free ride I got on the way back!

I heard on the radio that people have been opening the doors of random cars and climbing in because they thought it was their taxi when it really wasn't.

From what I've gathered, Uber is a shady company to work for. I heard on the news that Uber employees were deliberately requesting rides from Lyft and canceling them at the last minute, wasting tons of time/money to fuck with Lyft. That said, I LOVE uberX and they've been great about picking me up from bars when trashed and not raping me for their services.

I think you can use your own phone for Uber now, and android is supported.

hmm, maybe I'm mis-remembering the kind of car

was she in her late 30's/early 40's?

we had one who wanted to come in as she dropped us off a few months ago. not bad looking, either.

Don't you automatically get a free ride the first time you sign up?? Are these extra credits after you'd already had your first ride?

Ah. I've got like 50 different $20 cards from Uber drivers all over town. I rarely ever use a cab (walk and ride bikes everywhere)...but I'm looking to get really fucked up with a friend soon...so I'm saving the card for that.

i don't even think those cards work for anyone that's already a registered user. I've gotten 3-4 of those from various drivers and i always get 'promotion not valid' errors when i try to use them.

I assume credit card and/or phone number...since its an app on your phone and your account needs a credit card number.

phone number/email address more than likely.

i used Uber last weekend in Atlanta. 7:30 on Saturday and they were already in 2.8X Surge.

in non-surge periods, which is like 90% of the time, yes.

my 7:45 Uber in ATL last saturday was from Buckhead to Midtown and it was $28 with 2.8x surge.

took another one home around 1:00am from just a couple blocks away and it was $10 with 0 surge.

Just out of curiosity, if someone wants to smoke, is there an option for an Uber drive that lets you do that?

I don't think there's an option to request a smoking car, but it doesn't hurt to ask your driver.

Use code meganc3 and find out

If it's the same as all the others it is going to be a first ride free code that happens to go up to $30 rather than $20. Unless you're going 20+ miles it's probably not going to matter which code you use because your ride will be free either way.

^ My ride should be at least $20, assuming no surge, so the $30 helps.

Word. It costs me like $7.50 to go from Off Kaplan to downtown. I rarely even took cabs before Uber, but I can't argue with a $15 round trip and I usually end up catching a free ride home with friends anyway.

when I was an uber driver it would surge at peak bar times like 12 am - 2am, but surges were off and on very quickly. When I was driving I never saw a surge last more than 15 minutes, so if you want many times you should be able to wait it out.

Also DO NOT wait until 1:50 or 2 to request your Uber. This was pure hell trying to find your pickup because everyone was flagging you down and thinking you were the uber. If at all possible text the driver and tell them what corner you will be waiting on and DO NOT LEAVE the place you told them to meet you at and 5 minutes later update your location
