Get UberXL or UberSUV for large groups.Some larger UberXL and UberSUV vehicles can accommodate more than 6 riders, but don't wait for the vehicle to show up to find out—after booking a ride with UberXL or UberSUV, send a message to or call your driver to ask how many seats with seatbelts are available in the vehicle.
UberXL is an affordable, plus-sized rideUberXL is the high-capacity version of UberX, where riders pay more to request a car that has capacity for up to 6-7 riders. This option is great for riders who want to travel in a group or who have extra luggage, for example, for trips to and from the airport.
You'll see terms like UberX, Uber Comfort and Uber Select for example. What is the difference between Uber and UberX, you might wonder? Actually, there is no difference between UberX and Uber – UberX is simply a basic level of service that Uber offers. Uber offers a variety of service level options.
I would suggest an Uber XL which is for 1 to 6 passengers. These vehicles are usually SUV and Minivan type vehicles. If you were to order an Uber X the driver could show up with a car as small as a Honda Fit.
Of course, there's always the option of conversation as well. Luggage assistance: you can alert your driver if you'd like help with your luggage, whether you're unloading your suitcases at the airport or packing them up at the hotel.
For most Uber options, such as UberX and Uber Black, the price is for the ride and is not for each passenger. This means that as long as everyone can fit within the allotted capacity, the price is the same (as one).
You can book an Uber far in advance but what it does is just automatically call a car for you at that time. For some people, it's appreciated peace of mind, but it doesn't provide you with an actual advantage over calling a car right when you need it. There will always be available cars.
Uber's game plan is simple: it wants to drive the rates so low as to increase demand – by luring some of the customers who would otherwise have used their own car or public transport. And to do that, it is willing to burn a lot of cash, while rapidly expanding into adjacent industries, from food to package delivery.
Uber X is the most basic and most widely available service provided by Uber, so it may be the only option available in your location. The other Uber services (UberPOOL, UberBLACK, UberSELECT, etc.) may not be available in your area, or there may not be enough drivers nearby to support those services.
