Now it will not be any problem to immediately call a taxi. In order to order a car, you only need a smartphone. The Uber taxi service was created so that drivers and passengers can find each other.

For what purposes the company was created

Uber was founded in San Francisco. The original goal was to transport VIP clients in high-end vehicles.

Later, the company's specialists developed a more democratic service - UberX. Cars of a lower class began to be allowed. Traveling with a subsidiary is much cheaper for customers.

Despite all the changes, stylish cars for high-level customers have remained the face of the company. About working in Uber-taxi, driver reviews are only the most positive.

How to use the service?

Uber taxi is considered the easiest system for ordering a car. This is the best service for business people who value their time. There are also driver reviews about Uber taxis on which these conclusions are based. They can be found in the article.

You must register before you can use the benefits. On thethe first stage is the same for drivers and passengers. As in any service, you need to enter your email details, come up with a password, enter initials, a phone number for communication, a postal code and the necessary information on a bank card:

• number;
• CVV code;
• validity period.

If there is neither trust in the service nor the desire to transfer data, you can get a virtual card using online payment systems (WebMoney, Yandex. Money, and others). The main thing is that funds have already been transferred to the card.

In "Uber"-taxi, the connection is made through a mobile application. You can sign in using social networks (Google+ and Facebook). Verify the phone number is necessary through the code that will come by SMS.

After this simple procedure, you can safely call a taxi. Payment is transferred using a registered card.

Uber's mobile app is designed for popular smartphone operating systems (iOS, Android, BlackBerryOS, WindowsPhone). All interested drivers are given a job in the "Uber" taxi. Reviews can be read below.

Passenger benefits

• Instant call from mobile device. You do not need to enter coordinates, just select a destination. This saves time.
• You won't have to wait long for a free car. After making a call, a message is sent to all drivers at once. The very first person who wants to respond and immediately goes to the client.
• The service works only with reliable cars of the most prestigious brands. FROMWith the advent of UberX, affordable options for everyone are possible.
• The cost of the trip is calculated automatically and shown on the screen before the call is made.
• No hassle with cash. The required amount for the trip is automatically debited from the card.
• Discounts and promotions are constantly held that allow you to save.

Service Disadvantages

• Practically not valid on the territory of Russia. The system is developed only in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
• If the client wants to cancel the trip, it will cost him a certain amount. A fine of 190 rubles will be deducted from the account. In the first couple of minutes after the order, you can cancel the car without consequences.
• People's lack of confidence in various systems that require card data.

Uber in other countries

This service is primarily for Americans. In the US, the company is maximizing its operations.

According to statistics, the average number of orders reaches 3 million. Most of them are in the USA.

The system for ordering a taxi is not perceived equally positively in all countries. There are protests among classic passenger transport services.

Britain is the main opponent of this system. Taxis are banned in the country. Instead of a mileage rate, passengers pay a fixed amount for delivery, which is unacceptable in an Uber taxi. (Reviews about the company are nonetheless the most positive in Russia.)

PoFor similar reasons, the protest spread in Europe, which only speaks of the high competitiveness of the service compared to traditional taxi services.

Uber taxi in Russia

In order for the service to develop in Russia, not only its rapid growth is necessary, but also a radical change in national public opinion. The system is good for a society where there are enough free drivers in high-class cars. This will help meet demand.

The service needs trust in non-cash payments. Often a bank card in Russia is just a key to money that needs to be immediately withdrawn from the device.

In the capital, the system is fully functional, but this does not guarantee that its work will spread to all regions. It is assumed that Uber in Russia will become only a premium taxi service and will spread only to we althy customers.

As one of the options for further development, work through other taxi services under a partnership agreement is presented.

Already collected about the system "Uber"-taxi driver reviews that are positive.

The service invites drivers to cooperate. In "Uber"-taxi work is carried out using a smartphone. By registering in the system, you can receive additional income on the delivery of customers. The commission that the service takes is 20% of the order value. Payments are made to a bank card.

Pros of working with Uber

• Payout guaranteed. For each completed order, payment is deducted automatically from the client's card. Everything is honest, transparent and without deception. Now the driver can not worry about underpayments. Even if the trip did not take place, compensation will be transferred at the minimum rate.
• Don't waste time looking for change. Also, the client will no longer be able to slip counterfeit money. All you have to do is take him to his destination and you can immediately take the next order.
• Quiet work with adequate people. It is believed that customers who understand banking systems and trust their data to Uber are more correct than those who drive incognito.
• Cost reimbursement. If the client has soiled the salon, then the company is ready to pay for cleaning. You just need to provide a check.
• Increased tariffs that work inat night, during holidays and peak hours, you can earn good money.

Negatives of competing taxi services

• High commission on every order.
• Downtime due to low number of applications.
• Wage delay. In other companies, payments to employees are made once a month. According to studies, it has been found that with such a periodicity, wages are often delayed.
• Confusion with the order. Often, dispatchers transfer one client to several drivers at once. With Uber, this is out of the question. Everything happens automatically and is guaranteed to work in 40 countries around the world.
• Technical issues. The programs of many passenger transportation services are difficult to use, they slow down the work of the driver. Getting an order in such conditions is quite difficult. At Uber, all work is built on one click on the screen.
• Lack of training and technical support. When cooperating with other taxi services, employees are often left alone with all the technical inaccuracies of the services. Uber provides 24/7 support. Here we are ready to train novice employees in all the subtleties.

How to work in the system

Understanding how an Uber taxi works is very simple. The driver only needs to register, then everything is simple and clear.

The application on the phone is able to display in a highlighted color on the map information about which part of the city is currently the largest number of orders. You need to get closer to that area. Then the orders will start coming in. The application will indicate the name of the client, his phone number for communication, the place where he is currently located, and the point on the city map where he needs to be delivered.

After the trip is completed, you need to press the appropriate button on your smartphone. That's the whole procedure. Money is automatically transferred from the client's card to the driver's account, and at the end of the week, the accumulated funds are transferred to the company, from which wages are transferred.

At the same time, the driver does not need a license and official registration of his activity as an individual entrepreneur.
