I've never tipped, but it's not like you would have been viewed as crazy for doing it

I might try it next time I have to go to the airport although I think it's illegal in Quebec now

They keep trying to make it illegal everywhere. Maybe they should build a better competitive model than having non-english speaking dirtbags drive you around in a filthy car taking the longest route possible.

I agree.

I think here they basically want to turn them into taxis and have them buy cab licenses.

the fact they don't really pay taxes is an issue though considering we're basically the Soviet Union

- dt99999


UberX is just a cheaper version of Uber, but the car may not be as nice and, subsequently, the driver may not be as nice either.

I see but do they belong to the same company or is UberX a cheap knockoff?

Same company, just the cheapest version.

More about UberX
UberX is the “ride sharing” service that matches riders with independent drivers who use their own personal vehicle. UberX drivers are not professional livery drivers and a commercial license is not required, although some UberX drivers might have one. UberX drivers must be 21 or older with a clean driving record.

UberX cars must be model year 2006 or newer and pass an independent vehicle inspection. When you request an UberX, you’ll probably be picked up in a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda3, Ford Escape, Ford Escort, etc. UberX drivers drive “regular” cars that typically aren’t luxury sedans or SUVs.

UberX prices are the lowest of all three services. Check Uber.com to see the fare prices in your area. You’ll find that they are much cheaper than cab fare, and very similar in price to Lyft.

Want to drive for UberX? It’s easy to apply and you’ll know if you’re hired only a few days after you apply. Apply now with my link and you may be eligible for a signing bonus.

More about UberXL
UberXL is very similar to UberX, but the vehicles are larger and the fare price is higher. An UberXL car can hold 6 passengers. The driver requirements are the same as UberX, and the vehicles are ordinary minivans and SUV’s. If you request an UberXL, you’ll likely be picked up in a Honda Pilot, Dodge Caravan, GMC Acadia, etc. If you’re looking for the cheapest Uber option for a large group, UberXL is the right choice.

More about UberSelect
UberSelect (Formerly known as UberPlus in some markets) is similar to UberX — the vehicles seat up to 4 passengers. The vehicle standards are higher for UberSelect, so expect a ride in a luxury car like a Mercedes Benz, BMW, or an Audi. UberSelect is a good option when you want a nicer car, but you don’t want to pay for Black Car service.

More about Uber Black Car
Black car is the professional livery service that has given Uber a high-end reputation in the business world. The vehicle standards and driver standards are much higher for Black Car: Your Black Car driver will have a commercial license, commercial insurance, and their vehicle will be a high-end luxury sedan or SUV.

There are two options in the Black Car service: Choose a Black Car luxury sedan that seats for, or an SUV that seats 6 or more.

Naturally, the fare for Black Car is higher than UberX and Uber Select. It caters to wealthier users, business people, celebrities, and Uber users who are willing to spend a little extra for a special occasion.

UberX ride sharing is great/hilarious.

Every time I've rode with that faction of Uber I've been matched with a chick. Last time I was matched with some girl (19ish...?) who reeked of pot and had dark eye shadow.

Yeah, as long as you decline the trip promptly. Otherwise they charge your card.

UberX has an option to ride alone or share the car with an unknown for increased ride savings. This is something PSG would enjoy.

Just do uberX. You live in Canada. You could pull a gun on the driver and he'd ask if the temperature was to your liking
