If you live in a major metropolitan city (and even if you don't), you're likely familiar with Uber. It's an on-demand, ride-hailing service that's available at the tap of a button, bringing a car to your location.
Uber is currently available in 70 countries on six continents in more than 400 cities

Download the app. It's free.
Uber is available in the Apple App Store, Google Play, and in BlackBerry's App World. Mine only has the cloud there because I'm an active Uber user, but it will say "Get" if you're new!

Uber makes it incredibly easy for new users to sign up. You'll need to enter your name, email address, phone number, and your credit card information. Don't worry, you aren't paying for anything — yet.

Uber has different ride options, each of which fits a different number of people and come with different price tags.
There are three main categories: UberX, UberXL, and Car Seat. UberX will fit four people while UberXL will seat six. The car seat category is self-explanatory.
