This week's WOW : Uber, the on-demand private driver

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Uber is the fancy on-demand driver. You might have heard about it, it is a concept that got developed in California and that is now available for us Parisians! It is just about enjoying the private driver experience without the usual high expense!

Four easy steps to follow to get onboard:

1- Download the app on App Store (since your credit card information are recorded with your itunes account, you will be directly charged by card so no need to pay anything during the ride!)
2 - Set up your pickup location on the map
3 - Through the app, choose your vehicle type: Berline? Van? Moto?
4 - Your driver is on his way to you !! You can even track his position and know when he is getting close!

Then, it is all about enjoying. You will experience a fancy kind of experience with a well dressed classy driver (wearing leather gloves, suit and tie!). You will even get to choose your music preference by chosing your radio station and inside temperature! Water and magazines are also available in the car and courtesy is on rigour. Also note that the counter only starts once you are in the car and stops when you reach the destination. You then get an email with the recap and billing information. Uber is only 5euros more than a regular cab service...

So the concept is all about high end technology and precision! Definitly a WOW!!!
