Rare crewsweeper Posted August 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Most of the discount codes for these ride sharing entities are promotional 1st ride discounts. Groupon may have others. https://www.uber.com/promo/ https://www.retailmenot.com/view/uber.com https://couponfollow.com/site/lyft.com https://www.retailmenot.com/view/lyft.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyjane Posted August 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Will be new to using Uber if we decide to. Can some tell me do you have to set up an account, join etc. prior to trip for a (1) one time use of Uber. Also do you pay the drive cash at drop off or by credit card and is Uber safe to use in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted August 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Will be new to using Uber if we decide to. Can some tell me do you have to set up an account, join etc. prior to trip for a (1) one time use of Uber. Also do you pay the drive cash at drop off or by credit card and is Uber safe to use in Miami. Yes you need to download the app and set up an account. Then your charge will be directly billed to your chosen account credit card or pay pal. No cash changes hands. IF you want to add a tip ( optional) you can do that too. If you go to youtube, there are lots of videos showing you exactly how to use Uber. You can get at least a $15 discount off your first ride if you enter a promo code. Here is one you can count on. (mine) ellenB3439UE YES, no trouble with uber in Miami. In fact, compared to some of the cab drivers ( using that term lightly), the service and drivers are MUCH nicer. The last time we used a cab in Miami, the driver had NO idea how to get to Brickell Hampton Inn. Spent the drive talking to someone on the phone ( foreign language), I presume getting directions? I actually pulled out my phone to help direct him. It was nuts!!! And scary as it was after dark. Edited August 26, 2017 by eandj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screenname2004 Posted August 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Do people normally tip for uber/lyft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve20832 Posted August 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Do people normally tip for uber/lyft? Both apps have a tipping option when the ride ends. I do tip appropriately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted August 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Do people normally tip for uber/lyft? Sometimes ... if I am going to/from the airport and if the driver assists me with my luggage. Also, if I am traveling and not very familiar with the area, and the driver has been engaging in conversation, by offering suggestions for places to go, where to eat, shop, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted August 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2017 No smartphone? No problem. GoGoGrandparent is also an option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyjane Posted September 3, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Thank you all we have now booked with Southwest to fly into Fort Lauderdale and then get uber to Miami beach hotel. Southwest was such a good price but they don't fly into Miami. Thank you all for all your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipping for Uber is an option, not requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
