I hope someone can give feedback

No matter what I think of it. I don't think Uber is quite viable in our socioeconomic environment. At its most fundamental issue is trust.

Ito ang isa sa go-to car services ko kapag coding ako. Very good service at walang hassle sa pagbayad dahil no cash out. Only promo credit, PayPal or credit card auto debit. Kailangan lang alam mo ang destination mo at planado mo ang araw mo para hindi ka ma charge ng extra sa stops.

Kapag nag refer ka ng friend you can give them a code na may free P300 credit. Kapag nagamit nila yun, automatic may P300 credit din sayo for the referral.

So far five times ko na nagagamit and very hassle free and maganda ang cars. Ok sya kapag special occasion at naka formal wear ka at mas madali na di ka na mag drive.

Very expensive. A short trip from Makati to Fort cost around 140-150. But of course, hassle free, maganda cars and very convenient as you pay via the app. Just ride and get off without exchanging cash.

I wonder how they got around LTFRB.

How much does a trip from Makati to Fort cost with a regular cab? So they use private cars?

Probably 80. Yes they do. Some of these are from rent-a-car outfits.

As of my trip last Saturday from makati med area to high street bgc, the taxi fare cost about P130 without tip. Ang layo naman ng P80 na estimated cost. Saang Makati galing yun, from Buendia flyover to Shell sa baba lang?

LTFRB is looking for a way to charge them. So far wala pang nahahanap. :-) Basically private car owners sila na Uber equipped with their system. Hindi sya garahe ng kotse. Pwede kang rumaket as an Uber car basta pumasa ka sa requirements nila.

Pero mas mahal po ang pamasahe ng Uber car to Fort kung from Makati. Aabot sya ng average P200 :-) This is based sa weekday ride ko ng Uber from Makati Ave corner Paseo de Roxas to High Street BGC

We booked a ride via GrabTaxi; what showed up surprised us | TopGear.com.ph

Uber rate is 90.00 base fare, 2.10 per minute, 12.10 per km. They have rainy day promo now 50% off: 40.00 base fare, 2.10 per minute, 5.70 per km. Most of their vehicles are compacts and midsize sedans, there's even a E-class Benz.

As of now, Uber mainly operates in Fort, Makati CBD and MOA areas.

Time AND distance ang charge ng uber. So mejo mahal siya. Unlike regular taxi ng time or distance.

Uber is marketed as a premium service so it's really more expensive, it's implied in the name.

[crazy_boy]

Uber expensive

useful ito lalo na pag payday friday na sobrang hirap mag hanap ng regular taxi.

[crazy_boy]

Has anyone tried availing the services of Uber? they're a company that offers private ride for a fee. from what i've read, basically they tie up with rent a car companies for the service vehicles. they have clean cars (i think they use Nissan Teana, Toyota Camry and Corolla, and Ford Fiesta) and courteous drivers, but their rate is more expensive than ordinary taxi. the only catch is they will charge the fare via credit card and most of the service vehicles are within Makati, Ortigas, and BGC only at the moment.

Rates are P90 + P12.92/km AND P2.10/minute

i might try their service this friday to the airport.

[Walter]

They have promo now. It's 40 base fare + 2.20 / min & 5.70 / km.
They used to have 700 fixed rate for airport but they recently removed it.
If you use a promo code, you'll get free 300.00 credit. If you still don't have a promo code, you can use uberWALTERH.

Oh, and watch out for surge pricing during rush hours. There's also 50 to 100 cancellation fee.

Grab Taxi now has GrabCar service. It's similar to Uber but they aren't clear with their metering. With Grab Taxi, you just add 70.00 on top of the meter.

[crazy_boy]

I think they have 40% off pa at the moment. I think until this week.

BTW, you can get 300pesos credit for your first ride. You can use my code: uberjejeje

Rode Uber from Pasay Buendia to NAIA Terminal 3. There was heavy traffic at Tramo (should've taken Skyway). Total fare was 170.00 pesos. Have 300 pesos credit so didn't pay anything. Vehicle that picked up was a Toyota Innova. If you plan on registering use promo code uberWALTERH to get 300 pesos so you'll have free ride(s). Watch out for surge pricing though during peak hours.
