Uber

You decide you want to get a cab so you open up your Uber app...

your pick up location will already be set to your actual location but you can easily move this if need be. During this time you can also see how many minutes your cab will take to arrive. You then click "set pick up location" this allows you to enter your destination, get an instant fare quote and enter a promo code if you have one. Last but not least you REQUEST uberX and your cab will be on its way. Easy as 1, 2, 3!

The service you get after booking your cab is, in my eyes, exceptional. You will be shown a profile of the driver who is coming to get you this will include: their picture, the kind of car they have and their number plate as well as their 5 star rating. At this point you will also be able to track your Uber precisely on the map watching it’s every stop and turn. You'll then get an app notification when your Uber is waiting for you outside. 

Once your journey is finished you can just say good-bye to your driver, hop out the car and the fare is paid for automatically. If you want to give your driver a rating out of 5 stars this option is also available. Last but not least you will receive an email with the exact breakdown of the cost of your journey. 

Uber is a relatively new online cab ordering service that guarantees a price cheaper than a London Black Taxi, everything is paid for through your debit or credit card and if there is more than one of you sharing the cab you can easily split the fare within the app by entering your friends Uber details. It takes the hassle out of having to call your local cab station (or having to find their number if you're not in your local area), telling them your exact pick up and drop off locations, and then asking for a quote and how long the driver is going to take. I've used Uber a few times in the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed the service every time.
