Month: October 2015

Uber has finally made it’s way to Calgary! Starting at 2pm today (Oct 15, 2015), Calgarians can enjoy the safety, reliability and convenience of Uber at just the tap of a button. All at 30% cheaper than a traditional taxi ride!

Uber is available in 60 countries and over 300 cities worldwide, and is valued at over $50B. It’s a low-cost ridesharing option that connects you with on-demand transportation in minutes. Calgarians can ride easy knowing that all driver-partners undergo a rigorous background check process and that all Uber rides are supported by safety innovations like the “Share My ETA” feature.

Sign-up now and enter my invite code raymondl126 and you’ll get a $20 FREE RIDE CREDIT!

Uber is so excited to be in Calgary that starting today through until midnight on October 18th, riders new to Uber will receive two free rides up to $20/ride! That’s up to three free rides if you combine it with my free ride invite code!

I recently used Uber in Miami and Toronto and highly recommend it. Not only is it a lot cheaper than a taxi, it’s also more convenient and reliable.

Here’s why Uber is awesome:

• Cashless & Convenient: You don’t need cash. The fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file – no need to tip.
• One Tap to Ride: Uber uses your phone’s GPS to detect your location and connects with the nearest available driver. Get picked up anywhere – usually within minutes.
• Reliable Pick-ups: When you request a ride, they’ll located a driver and let you track their location on the map. Your drivers name, car details and ratings will appear in the app.
• Clear Pricing: Can enter your pick-up and drop-off locations to get a fare estimate before your trip.

Here’s how to get riding:

1. Sign-up for an Uber account
2. Download the Uber app (iOS, Android or Windows Phone)
3. Enter my invite code raymondl126 to get your free $20 ride credit
4. Select the uberX icon, set your pickup location, and request your Uber ride!
5. Meet your driver curbside- you’ll be able to track the exact location of your ride, and you’ll receive all the important details ahead of arrival, like contact info for the driver and the license plate of the car.
6. Enjoy the ride! No need to worry about fumbling for cash- your ride will be charged directly to your Uber account when your trip is over and you’ll receive an emailed receipt.

PRO TIP: If you can’t connect with your Uber at first, don’t worry! Availability may be limited while we’re offering free rides to new users. Just refresh your Uber app after a few minutes to request a ride – you’ll be on your way in no time.
