Uber Taxis - Leeds

[richatnort]

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone has used or heard of Uber yet but i've used them a couple of times to get to town and back and just wanted to see what other peoples thoughts on them are?

I've used them 3 times now and by far the best taxi ride i've had! i found it's so much cheaper then Amber or Arrow and black cabs. They also do a good promotion for anyone that joins via a code as you get £10 off your first fare which i used to try them out.

I'd be interested if anyone has used them in Leeds yet.

Went to download the app but much criticism about having to leave credit card details & erroneous collection, I appreciate that's the system but a tad off putting.

I've used them 3 times now and have loved every single journey. It's so simple to book a taxi and so much cheaper then any other taxi firm. The whole credit card doesn't bother me really as the system seems pretty sure. It would be nice if they would allow PayPal payments but that's bound to come soon! In regards to collection again haven't had an issue and the app even allows you to ring or text the driver to see where he is free of charge which I had to use when I was round the trinity centre as it was quite busy.

If you want to £10 free credit pm and I'll send you a link to get it when you register. I'm honestly not going to use any other company.

When I downloaded Uber there didn't seem to be anything in Leeds: I'll give it another go if/when I remember. In Leeds Amber have their own app which is great for the 'seeing where your cab is' link.

I thought the same when I first got it but if you look on there's a hell of a lot more. I think the Christmas period really helped.
