Uber Car Service Arrives in Toronto

Last week I attended the one-year anniversary of Blowfish‘s Bay Street location and was offered the use of the new-to-Toronto car service, Uber. I have to say I am in love.

As someone who takes cabs a lot (too much sometimes), I have to say the service from start to finish was impeccable. For only a few extra dollars than taking a regular cab, you can simply order from your phone via text (as I did with my Blackberry) or from the apps available for iPhone and Android. You simply tell them where you are, you receive a text confirmation that a car is on the way, then when it is 1 minute away you get a nice little message saying that your car is almost there. A clean, high-end, black sedan arrives to pick you up. Because you pre-register on the site, there’s no money exchange when you arrive at your destination and the tip is also included. Now, that’s arriving in style.
