Hi guys - someone in the building I live in shared a code for £15 off a first ride with Uber. Their rates are pretty good so hopefully it could amount to a free ride.
The code is CELESTIACARDIFF
Hope it works for you.

That's awesome that someone in the building gave you a code and you immediately thought of us. Thanks, BristolBluebird.
Especially with his first ever post.Quote:

Is Uber in Cardiff being used? I heard it wasn't doing so well.
Used them last night from Cardiff Bay to Pontprennau £8 had a £10 discount for a friend signing up to them !:wave:
Happy to nominate anyone on here :thumbup:
Uber is absolutely fantastic, my love for it is fuelled by my hatred of Dragons taxis and their cowboy drivers.
Do they turn up? I've been told they're not reliable
Staffed by ex Dragon taxi driversQuote:

Know which I'd prefer.Quote:

One advantage of Uber is you can pay by credit card. There are annoyingly few taxi companies in Cardiff that take them.
Most major cities it is commonplace.
Especially annoying if you are using a company credit card for travel expenses.
Last thing you want is to use a company credit with taxi receipts. They can never be arsed to write them out so nice little perk who claiming receipts back. :biggrin:Quote:

When i packed in last year with Dragon i was taking about £800 p/w and paying radio rent of £85 which is 10%. Uber take 25% of your fare.Quote:

Black and whites give taxi drivers a bad name,i never once refused a short fare or left people stranded.
Your post that I was responding to was about tracking them not about agreeing prices. However, with the Dragon app you can book a taxi, get a price and track the taxi. And Dragon have plenty of drivers who are native English speaker.Quote:

Uber also makes better use of technology than ordinary black cab companies, however there are far too many stories of mistakes being made (cars getting lost) and I can't forget the bogus claims on here by one supporter that it was a safer experience that makes me nervous about using it.
