What does Uber unavailable mean?

It means that Uber is unable to find a driver that will pick you up. Sometimes there are just no cars in your area. Many drivers will only drive a certain distance and will refuse calls too far away. If you are seeing cars in your area on the map, there may be another reason why they are declining the call.
