UberXL: For groups of 5–7 riders (Or 2-4 people with luggage) UberXL is the correct service if you have more than 4 people in your group, but no more than 6 or 7. If your group has luggage, an Uber XL will only fit around 4 people. And if you have lots of bags or very large bags, an XL might fit even less than 4.
An XL vehicle can accommodate 3 large suitcases easily. Depending on how many in your party you might be sitting with luggage at your feet. You have to remember minivans and suv's have only so much cargo space before seats have to be folded down etc.
The main difference between UberX and UberXL is that an UberX car can only fit 4 riders and an Uber XL car can fit 6 riders. Uber X - Uber's budget option. When you select an Uber X car, an everyday car with seating for up to 4 people will arrive to pick you up. Uber XL - The Uber X for SUV's.
Could I use Uber XL for moving? Rideshare apps like Uber are intended for arranging the transportation of passengers, not cargo. And, while some may have used them to carry small items in a pinch, the vehicles are generally not large enough for large items like furniture.
You can tip your driver once your trip is complete. Tips are neither expected nor required. After a trip has ended, you have 30 days to add a tip in the app, on riders.uber.com, and from your emailed trip receipt. When can I tip my delivery partner?
How much should you tip Uber drivers? Similar to tipping for other services, like getting a massage or going to the nail salon, the rule of thumb is to tip 20%, says Sokolosky. So if your ride costs $30—an average cost for a moderate trip in most cities—then you'll tip $6, for a total of $36.
Uber's largest passenger service fits 6 passengers on a Uber SUV or UberXL hence cannot fit 8 people. Some taxis utilize minivans, but those can only fit up to 6 passengers too.
Uber XL is usually a minivan or large SUV, so whatever you can fit in it. They're supposed to have room for 6 people with luggage but aren't obligated to take furniture. You might want to request one, then call the driver and explain what you are trying to do.
That's where supersized UberXL comes in: with a minimum of 6 seats and extra space in the boot, UberXL is a quality, low-cost option for big groups to travel together with ease. The more the merrier!
Worst case scenario, 2 passengers and 2 “empty seats”. So yes most any Uberx should be able to accommodate at least 1 Suitcase in the trunk (I can handle 2–3 depending on size, in addition my stuff), but you can also put a suitcase in the middle of the rear seat between the passengers and another in the front.
prices go up when demand for rides is more than the supply of drivers available. maybe there's a special event going on in your area or whatever. wait awhile and the price will most likely go down.
Driving for Uber certainly has its benefits. You can set your own schedule, drive as much as you want, and earn promotions and tips on top of normal driver fare.
Uber drivers are never required to ask if you need help or assist you with your luggage. Due to changing travel requirements, many Uber drivers may feel it is better to remain in the car rather than helping with your bags. Your Uber driver may offer to assist with your luggage, but don't expect them to.
Of the 40 busiest U.S. airports, 10 don't allow pickups unless drivers have a chauffeur's license or livery plates, including Atlanta, Orlando, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia. Seattle, Minneapolis and New Orleans started allowing legal ride-sharing pickups only this year.
Can I pay for Uber with cash? Yes, you can pay with cash. Before requesting a ride, go to the Payment section in the app and select Cash. At the end of your trip, pay cash directly to your driver.
