UBER launched uberX in Romania today and probably some of you are wondering how much does a ride with an UBER car cost? si how do you account to benefit from the new network. Well, to create an account you just need to access it this page and register there with your real data, plus a credit card that has available money, a bonus of 40 LEI being offered to you FREE of charge when you register to run races. After registering the account, download the UBER application from the App Store or Google Play, it being available for free for our smartphones.
What is the UBER rate and how do I make an account?
You have created an account in the UBER network and now you are probably wondering what is the rate charged by UBER cars that will transport you around Bucharest whenever you need to get somewhere quickly. Well, according to those from UBER, the rate is calculated as follows: 1.39 LEI for starting + 0.23 LEI per minute + 1.39 LEI per kilometer, so basically the same thing as taxis. The difference with a taxi is as in the case UBER pay only with the card at the end of the journey, you can choose the car as you like and, in theory, you have professional drivers who know how to treat people well.
To initiate an UBER ride you just have to open the application, check the cars on the route, set a pick-up point and wait for a car to come after you to pick you up. After the end of the trip, you will also receive a receipt for your trip by email, so you will be able to justify the money even in front of a boss, or in front of the tax office if you deduct the trip. Having said that, I am happy that UBER has finally entered the Romanian market and I am curious to know what your opinion is.
