Uber Philippines

Interestingly, the Altis was downgraded from Uber Black to Uber X.

Last I rode was a 1.6G MT Altis for Uber X. Before, I rode a 1.6E Altis for Uber Black.

They're becoming more competitive I guess. UberX is just about 20 pesos more expensive than a regular taxi, and definitely cheaper than GrabTaxi.

^Wow really? That's good for Uber X customers then to include the Altis

The last time I rode uber black I got a 2009 or 2010 Black Tucson.

Interesting...how much is the fare difference between x and black? Then how would you know if yun na Ang kotse ng uber?

I forgot the regular fare but sometimes Uber black comes out cheaper depending on the "surge"

Uber will indicate in the app the plate number, car model and name of the driver. Normally the driver will call you too.

They also send an email of the details of your ride:

Not really. Once you send out the signal that you're ready to get picked up, whichever driver confirms first is the one assigned to you.

However, once you see which car is assigned, you can cancel within 2 minutes. Then you can try again, hopefully with a better car.

I tried it once - first car was an Accent, then I cancelled and when I tried again it was an Altis. Not sure though how it affected my rating as a rider (drivers get to see passenger ratings and if you're a jerk they can opt not to pick you up).

Hinde pala pwede paypal Ang payment I had to registered with my CC.
