UBERLOVESPERTH

Got their email :

We are excited to announce that Secret Ubers have made their way to the beautiful city of Perth! For a long time now, you've been asking for a more convenient, classy, and safer way to get around town and now you can— all at the push of a button.

How to catch yourself a Secret UberBLACK:

1) Open the Uber app on your phone, request a car, and in minutes your friendly driver will show up and get you on your way.

2) No unncessary wating: you can see where your car is on a live map and get a notification when it's arriving.

3) There is never a need for cash with Uber. All payments are processed in the app via credit card and your receipts are emailed to you instantly.

4) If you've never used Uber before, use promo code:
UBERLOVESPERTH and get $25 off your first ride in Perth!

Please keep in mind that during our initial testing phase, service will be limited and most cars will be located in the areas around the CBD, Northbridge, North Perth, Leederville and Mount Lawley.

During our soft-launch, expect promotional prices and limited availability of cars.

  For a 2km journey, they quote $20-21. There had better be free drinks included!

  OTOH, they do have good rates for virtual servers, and hosted Exchange.

  Thanks for that link. The quote I got was $78 - $100. First, I thought the fare was supposed to be fixed and second, this is $20 - $40 higher than a cab. Not seeing the point of a potentially dodgy lift that may not turn up costing more than a cab.

  I live and work in the initial soft launch area. $24-$29 to go 2 kms down the road. No thanks.
  $90 airport to home when a taxi costs me $50!! I may as well just get a Hughes limo.

    uberblack is a limo - how much does hughes charge?

  I guess us Perth people don't understand the cars, etc that they use. Also. That large of a price range is not really acceptable especially when uber promotes the fact that you will know your fare beforehand. If their website had more explanation it would be helpful.

    the only flat fares are airport trips so a range must be given due to distance/time-based rates

    $10 base fare + $0.68/min or $2.04/km (min fare $20)

    sample vehicles: holden caprice, bmw 740, ford territory

    as mentioned earlier there might be discounted promo rates in effect
