Has Anyone Used or Plan to Use Uber Black?

Meesh, on September 4, 2018 at 9:57 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 14

So we were thinking of using Uber Black instead of a limo service because the ride from our venue to the hotel is really short, and most services want a HUGE amount of $$ due to minimums. I looked at the Uber Black site, but it doesn't really clarify how to sign up for this or how to enter our information? Has anyone used the service or plan to use it? I feel like an idiot but I've searched all over and cannot find any solid information for the LIFE of me! HELP!

    I found this on their website. You just do it in the Uber app. https://www.uber.com/ride/how-uber-works/scheduled-rides/
    Uber x are their cheaper cars, Uber premium is the more high end cars like a Lexus or Mercedes, and Uber XL are suburbans or minivans if you have more than 4 people or need more room. I don’t believe they have anything called Uber black anymore.

    You have to use the uber app. You can schedule a ride in advance through the app.

    I will be doing This myself as well due to my ceremony and reception is all in one area....so we only needed one way there. But I believe it’s UBER XL- it’s about 50$-90$ Which is affordable and they are luxury cars

    We used Uber XL. You can create an event and create a code for your guests to use in Uber so that all the rides are paid for under one person. It was easy and everyone loved it!

    I have used uber black before
    Works and is worth it. Schedule in advance so car is available. Good luck and congratulations on your special day!

    We plan on using it after the wedding. We're headed a few blocks back to the hotel/after party area. We don't have a wedding party, it's just us. Didnt seem cost effective to rent anything. Sacrifices had to be made, and limos were the first thing to go!

    Thanks everyone! The tricky thing is Uber is not available where we live, so I won't be able to log in and schedule something till we get home to Virginia. But this is all great info! I cannot stomach paying someone $450 for a 10 minute ride LOL

    Love it “Sacrifices had to be made, and limos were the first thing to go!” Lol. My FH and I both hate limos and agreed it was something we would not have. It was a sacrifice we made before we even knew we’d have to sacrifice things hahaha.

    Yeah definitely don't do that! It's not reasonable. I like you're idea of the UBER XL, and they're usually nice vehicles!

    Did you do this? Was there a fee for setting up the event code? Did they guarantee Ubers in the area if you set up an event? Sorry for the barrage of questions....just can't seem to find answers on their website.

    Whoa. This seems like an awesome idea. I’m totally about to highjack this! I’ll have to check their website and see how to create an event.

    Same!! Just want a nice car to get from A to B after the night is over! The guy who wanted $450 did have some gorgeous cars, we were eyeballing his vintage cream-colored Roles Royce but that was the minimum and we wouldn't leave till after dark so the photos wouldn't even be worth it. I was like, nahhhh... lol
