Need your Uber advice - has it worked for you? Any pointers?
I’m traveling to Los Angeles next week and my hosts said to “take Uber” to the specific suburb where they live. I’ve heard about Uber but have never actually used it before.
Some questions:
- Do they pick up at LAX? I had heard that there was some hassle with that?
- In your experience, do they show up on time? Do the logistics work out?
- Is it really flat fee, or is a tip expected?
- Any other advice?
