used Uber 4 times this week in Chicago. we had 6 guys so couldn't fit into one cab. we got an SUV each time and it usually only took about 5 minutes to get to us. you don't pay. you don't tip. they just bill the card you have registered on the account. you go on the app, hit the type of vehicle you want and they show you on the map where the car is and how long it will take to get to you. they show you a picture of your driver and the vehicle type and his plate number. if they don't know exactly where you are via the GPS they call you and you tell them where you are waiting but we only had that happen once. you can also get regular taxis and different car types. we tried tipping the first guy that picked us up and he wouldn't have it. they also have bottled water for you in the cars. huge fan of this.
seems pretty great. i assume this is just for large cities like Chicago?
