Uber as we know it now - A ride sharing app that enables people with cars to give rides to folks needing a lift. It has become known as a taxi ride alternative.
What you need to know and my 2 sense worth. Seems like a great idea for those wanting to make extra cash and those needing a cheap lift in a car that's probably nicer than a taxi. However, there are a few things you need to know:
1. The people giving rides could be crazy. Yes, crazy. Like Kathy Bates break your ankles crazy. Like girlfriends climbing in through your window crazy. Crazy.
2. The folks requesting rides could be crazy. See above for examples.
3. YOUR PERSONAL AUTO POLICY DOES NOT COVER YOU FOR GIVING RIDES FOR OTHERS FOR A FEE. Get an email or something in writing from your personal auto agent stating you have coverage for this if they say you do. Talk is cheap. Get everything in writing.
All in all, if you do this correct, it seems like it's free market capitalism at its finest. Connecting services for clients, all at a cheap price. Love the idea.
And as our economy continues to skyrocket upward with all of our new hope and change (being incredibly sarcastic here), I bet other goods and services will be emerging that will challenge the status quo. Because after all, necessity is the mother of invention and with an unadvertised unemployment rate greater than 20%, you can bet your nalgas that inventions are coming down the pipe line.
Stay protected my friends, and make sure you're properly protected.
