How does it work?

The main feature of the Uber app is to get you in touch with a nearby driver to take you to your destination. Just follow the steps below:

1. Download and get the free Uber app from the App Store or Google Play on your smartphone. Open the app to create your account.
2. Request type your destination and select a route. The price will always appear in advance.
3. Route details: you will see the driver’s photo and vehicle details, while at the same time you can track his arrival on the map.

More detailed steps:
Step 1 A passenger opens the application: The passenger enters their destination in the box “Where do you go?” at the top of the screen. It touches the route option to see the waiting time, the size of the car and the price. Then confirm the pickup location and press request.

Step 2 A passenger is assigned with a driver: a nearby driver sees and accepts the passenger’s route request. The passenger is automatically informed when the driver’s vehicle is about one minute away.

Step 3 The driver receives the passenger: The driver and the passenger verify their names and destination. The wizard then starts the path.

Step 4 The driver transfers the passenger to the destination: The application gives the driver access to detailed instructions so that the driver can concentrate on the destination and the passenger can enjoy a comfortable ride.

Step 5 The driver and the passenger give a rating and reviews: At the end of each route, drivers and passengers can rate each other with 1 to 5 stars. Passengers can also compliment the driver. In cities where tipping is available, they can still add a small extra amount to express their gratitude.
