Camden/Macarthur Uber is here to bring the ever popular and increasingly used Uber service to the Camden and Macarthur regions and to encourage more Uber drivers to pay attention to these areas. What is Uber? Uber is a ride sharing service, similar to a taxi, where riders can request a trip via the Uber smartphone app. Uber drivers conduct these trips in their own private cars. Important Facts
- W
hen you request an Uber, it will go to the nearest Uber driver in the area. When that request is accepted, on the app you will see a map with an icon representing your driver's car, and will be able to track them as they approach your location and the exact time it takes them to get there.
- Uber is a cashless service. When creating an account on the smartphone app, users include credit card or PayPal details. At the end of the trip the fair is calculated and withdrawn from the nominated account.
- Upon signing up, Uber drivers must undergo a criminal background check, and also have a clean driving record, recent car (2006 onwards), as well as car insurance etc.
- To ensure Uber delivers the best possible service to its users, riders are able to give their driver a star rating out of five at the conclusion of their trip. High star ratings have been given to drivers who are friendly and make polite conversation, have a clean car, arrive on time and who provide things such as water, mints, and phone chargers. If a driver's rating drops below a certain level (around 4.5), they are liable to have their Uber account suspended. So in order to take advantage of this stellar transportation service that has taken the world by storm since 2009, all you need to do is download the smartphone app onto your device, create and account, request an Uber and the driver will come to you!
