A Week With Uber And This Blogger Is Totally Hooked

I just finished a week long trip to San Francisco. This time I didn't rent a car, meaning I didn't have to deal with the rental cost, gas cost, parking and the delays in shuttling back and forth to the airport car rental area - usually at least $500 for the week and sometimes much more. I just used Uber instead, a service that launched last summer that lets you call up a black car service from your mobile phone. Here's our overview of the service. You add a mobile app, create an account with your credit card, and when you want a car you hit a button. A black car comes to you via GPS in a couple of minutes, and you can see how far away they are on your phone. When your trip is done, your credit card is automatically billed.I'm going to share all the data from the week with you here.
