Uber

J’aimais bien Über mais ça c’était avant de connaître chauffeur privé qui me donne à l’avance le tarif de ma course et dont les chauffeurs agissent globalement bien.
Parce qu’avec Über parfois on tombe sur des presque chauffeurs de taxi (la voiture qui sent moyennement bon, le manqué de politesse…) puis surtout avec Über c’est beaucoup plus cher.
Hier matin j’ai comparé le prix d’une course: 23 € avec Über contre 14 € avec chauffeur privé… La différence est assez énorme. Du coup je n’utilise Über que lorsque je galère avec Chauffeur privé (mais ça ce n’est arrivé qu’hier matin finalement…)

What a relief to be able to take über from CDG to our place by Champsélysées super cheap and on time, no more spending €€€ in those nasty non-​English speaking and smelly cabs! Hooray! One star knocked off BC the über drivers were on strike when we had to leave to go to Orly! Wtf?!

Use all the time home in NYC and wasn’t sure what I would get in Paris. Even better. UberX has been awesome on my vacation in Paris with my family. Don’t have to worry does the taxi take credit card or not — just find a good location for pickup, call the car and voila — awesome ride back to our place. Every car and driver so far has been outstanding. Very nice cars (Infinitis, BMWs…) and all of the drivers have provided quick service. Highly recommend.

Pour assurer un déplacement sans encombre la soirée de Noël, mon fils avait opté pour Über dans le cadre du déplacement entre notre hôtel et le lien où se tenait notre réveillon de Noël. Gràce à l’application, le véhicule d’Über est arrivé rapidement et dans les temps comme le stipulait l’application. La voiture était propre et en parfait état. Dans le cadre du retour vers notre hôtel, nous avons utilisé dans la nuit la même application et le service rendu fut aussi au top.
J’ai donc depuis chargé l’application sur mon téléphone pour la tester prochainement.

Je devais sortir de chez moi a 4h00 du matin, deux solutions s’offraient a moi, les bus noctiliens avec le risqué d’arriver en retard et de croiser des gens que je n’aimerais pas croiser seul a 4h du matin, j’ai décidé de tester Über Pool, 5 minutes après il était la, il y avait déjà une autre personne a l’intérieur, et franchement a 4h du matin, faire presque 10 Km le tout a 5,5 euros, ça se passé de tout commentaire… Bravo Über.

Used Über from Marriott Champs Elyssys to CDG at 0700. 45.00 $€. Driver was on time and helped manage our 4 bags. Driver was careful and alert in freeway to CDG. I would highly recommend while traveling in Paris

I have to say I was not a Über believer, but spending 5 days in Paris (⁸⁄₂₀ to ⁸⁄₂₄) changed my mind. My daughters fiancée used Über via his iPhone app to shuttle us to different places in Paris for 5 days. The cars came within 2 to 3 minutes, always a dark colored car, very friendly driver, opening up the car doors for us. Some of them spoke little English, but we got to our destinations. The drivers were always dressed in a dress shirt (most of them white) and dark pants, very clean. They always had water available (it was hot in Paris). Payment was done automatically, no fuss with money or credit card.
We were able to use Über to go to the airport
Fantastic job Über Paris!!!

I highly recommend Über in Paris. We used Über twice in Paris, and our experience was much better than using taxis. Both Über drivers had nice clean cars, and were friendly and careful drivers. The 2^nd Über driver gave us free water bottles and asked us if the AC was ok.
At the time of this review, it’s not possible to use Über to and from the airport. But I highly recommend them for rides to other places. We used Über to get to the train station in Paris, and also for a ride back to our hotel, when my feet were tired of walking.

I am SOOO glad I looked up Über Paris on Unilocal before I moved here to Study Abroad. I most likely would have shied away from using it if it were not for all of the great reviews. It is perfect. Seriously.
I have been in both Über X and Über Black in the US. Über X Paris is ALWAYS on the level of UBER Black US and sometimes is even better. The drivers are always professionally dressed. I don’t think I have been in an Über here that didn’t have leather seats. They move the passenger seat up so you always have ample leg room. There has been some type of drink and or candy in every car. It is great. It has been a life saver. Sometimes, you just want to ride in a car you know? LOL the metro is exhausting and Über is always there when I need a break or need to get somewhere quickly.
I don’t have a data plan, here so I am running off Wi-​Fi only. This sucked when I was at the airport. Def. missed my Über. it is too large for them to find you without a phone call. But I added money to my Google Talk so I can now communicate with the driver if needed. If you pick up location, however, is exact, no phone call is necessary. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Hot summer day in Paris after cold summer day in Billund, travelling from CDG to Paris via Metro, only to realize halfway one line was under maintenance, Über to the rescue, big van, super clean car… beautiful experience

I was in Paris 10 days ago and had excellent experiences using Über!!! It’s unfortunate there are possibly people who would be cautious because of the government back lash!!! Free enterprise must survive.
We do not live in the dark ages.

Über is fine going TO the airport.
But my experience when I arrived at CDG to go to into Paris was that I had no way to find the driver. And no cell phone — I hadn’t put in my French SIM card. So no way to reach the driver. CDG is huge so impossible to look without some communication.
So Über needs fine-​tuning for visitors arriving at a big airport with no cell phone capability.

I heart Paris Über! Paris Über is on a whole other level than Über in the States. These guys come dressed to the 9’s, in nice clean and fully stocked cars, and they are always very polite. It’s more like a limo service. Totally different experience than the States. Don’t be afraid to use them if you don’t speak French. Doesn’t matter.

Über paris was a wonderful experience. Fast, quick, and respectable service. I think its actually better than the service in San Fransisco from what i’ve seen. So go ahead and give them a try, you will not regret it.

Coming from NY I use this here and there when I can’t get a yellow cab. We had early flight from CDG, so couldn’t take train. Our generic unhelpful hotel clerk said he can arrange a cab for 60 euro. Uh ok? Like 70 – 80 $ I don’t think so what a SCAM to prey on toursits.
Sure enough I checked UBER on my cellphone and my app worked, I did über carpool and we didn’t even pick anyone else up in the way. Came to total or 27 Euro!
That’s more like It. I actually think it’s cheaper than in NY!
Definitely recommend it, as its reliable and you’re in control not having to worry about a taxi scamming you as the trip is pre set and you get a final gps map of the route taken to ensure u weren’t taken long way !
make sure for a cheaper option you select CARPOOL not any of the other ones.

Seriously, as everyone is stating Über in Paris just works amazingly.
I imagine it is how Über worked originally in the US with more of the luxury/​black car concept at affordable pricing. It seems most all the US Ubers are UberX and this is probably why. Since I run a study abroad program, sometimes I need to get places quickly and the metro is just not as efficient an option as hopping in a car.

Über vous sauve la vie et vos soirées.
C’est une alternative au velib et à l’autolib.
C’est facile über pool, pop, X, van ou berline au choix.
J’aime le fait de né pas courir et pester contre le taxi qui Refuse la course car: «pas assez loin!», «pas mon chemin!» (Fallait changer de métier! Pas mon chemin!!!)
Ou ceux qui mettent la musique à fond et roulent les fenêtres ouvertes. Ou encore ceux qui font des détours alors qu’on demande le chemin le plus court…
Bref, c’est bête comme les chauffeurs qui paient pourtant leurs licences ont mauvaise réputation à Paris.
Avec Über, il n’y a que des solutions. On peut finir tranquillement la soirée en attendant l’arrivée du über.

I fell in love with UBER in Paris! I never used Über back home in NYC but when we came to Paris the cabs were crazy expensive. We Über’d a car from the airport and virtually everywhere else throughout the city.
I never rated a single person lower than 5 stars here and I only hope that this will still be around here the next time I come to Paris.

Wow, how come UBER can’t be this great in the US!
I used Über twice, on my past trip to Paris! We were way too tired from walking the whole day, so we decided to use Über to save us a trip from the subway!
We requested Uberx on both trips, because there was 4 of us. And wow! Both times, came a nice and shiny BMW to pick us up! The drivers were not very chatty, but they greeted us nicely when we got in and were very fast at getting us to our location! They even had bottle water ready for us in all of the cup holders! Very refreshing after a long hot day!
And to top it off! After they dropped us off — they opened the door for us each time! Wow, this never happened to me in San Francisco! Excellent plus!
Highly recommend! From the Eiffel Tower to the Latin Quarter it only cost us 13 Euros! Not bad if you divide that by 4 and it definitely beat taking the subway! TOtally worth it!

C’est un un vrai progrès à Paris que l’apparition d’Über. Là où l’on mettait parfois une heure pour attendre un taxi en pleine nuit, qui de plus se faisait une joie d’arriver avec une dizaine d’euros au compteur, nous sommes maintenant libérés!
Finis les «Ah non je né peux pas, ce n’est pas sur mon chemin», on peut enfin sortir l’esprit tranquille.
Merci Über pour ce service qui est définitivement en train de changer nos vies!

LOVE LOVE LOVE UBER!!!
Paris was the first place that I really had first hand experiences with how the app works. I had been part of the rides my friends were UBERing in Chicago, but here, my boyfriend and I got to see how it really works.
We used Über 2 – 3 times per day and to/​from the airport so got to meet a lot of drivers and all of them were so cool and nice and efficient! Über was a great way to travel and much more economical for us. The airport ride was 35 Euros and we even got a discounted rate for using the Uberpool (even though no one else ended up riding with us! — it is a deeper discount if there is someone else).
The only problem we ran into was trying to find the Wi-​Fi to get a driver!
Great great experience with Über in Paris and definitely recommend this service!

While in Paris, we decided to try Über for the very frist time. I had heard a lot of good recomendations, but also a few negative reviews. We tried it the last day of our visit, when we where leaving Paris.
Sunday 11 AM, I startes ordering. The cheapest and most popular service, uberPOP, was unavailable (this type of cars would’ve cost us only 30 €!). Changing to uberX, the estimated time of arrival at our location, dropped from 20 to 8 minutes. Straight after requesting a car, a driver accepted and was hedding our way. The driver was on time, nicely dressed and had a clean and elegante Citroën C6. He behaved just like a driver should do.
When we arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport the first day of our visit, we used an ordinary and local taxi-​service, which costed 59,10 €. The final price using Über was 45 €, and with the startup bonus we only paid 35 € from Paris centrum to the airport. Fantastic! The price was estimated in advance, and we recived a digital receipt on e-​mail after the trip.
After each trip, you can rate your driver an the driver can rate you. This gives future costumers/​driver reliance to the service. If you’re in a larger city, which Über is supported, you should absolutely try it!

Absolutely 100% wonderful!
My sole purpose in using this service was to get my butt and my I-​was-​in-​Paris-​for-​a-​month luggage to the airport at zero-​dark-​thirty on a random Wednesday morning. I didn’t like my chances of a taxi driving by the tiny side street on which the apartment was located, so when my host suggested Über, I was game to try it. While I can’t speak to getting from the airport to Paris, getting from Paris to the airport was a total cinch with Über.
After signing up (with a great coupon code — don’t forget to look for that first!), I installed the app on my phone. The next morning, at 7:50AM, I ordered up an UberPop car for the bargain price of 30 Euros. Yes, 30 EUROS TO THE AIRPORT. I thought I was dreaming when I saw that price, but nope… that’s the regular price for a trip to CDG from the Right Bank. Amazing. For comparison, I had taken a taxi from the airport to the apartment late at night (i.e., not much traffic), and the cost at that time was a little over 50 Euros.
So yeah, 30 Euros. Awesome.
The driver was wonderful, on time (~5 minutes from ordering it to arrival!), and helpful. He didn’t speak much English, but that’s fine… all he really needed to know was where I was going. We did chat a tiny bit between my paltry French and his English. When the sun began to glare through the windows, he even pointed out the sunshades on his car, which itself was spotless and free of odors.
I would definitely recommend Über to anyone traveling in Paris, and yes, if/​when I go back, I’ll be using it again for my airport trips at the very least.
Merci beaucoup!

Hands down BEST taxi service in Paris. I switched to UBER the second it arrived in Paris, after having been ripped off by G7 and several airport cab drivers. I have sat in cabs that the taxi driver apparently lives in, without showering, while eating garlic and onions, for days. Über is a vast improvement with sharp professional drivers, often in snazzy suits!
Über is always professional, timely, and a good value. Thank good ness for UBER! I highly recommend!

UBER, c’est la solution a tous vos problèmes !
Si comme moi, vous sortez de boîte entre 2h et 4h du matin, et à chaque fois vous vous énervez parce qu’il n’y a AUCUN taxi à Paris à cette heure là, téléchargez l’application UBER, rentrez vos coordonnées bancaires et même plus besoin d’avoir du liquide sur soi. La voiture arrive d’ici 10 minutes environ et le tarif est un peu moins élevé que les taxis normaux. Le gros avantage c’est que quand UBER arrive, le chauffeur descend tout de suite de sa voiture avec un grand sourire, vous ouvre son coffre et la porte arrière. Et surtout le compteur n’affiche pas déjà 10 € ! Un autre point positif est qu’on peut estimer à plus ou moins 5 € le prix de notre parcours.
Leur lancement a été très bien fait, j’ai pu bénéficier d’une course offerte à hauteur de 25 € et faire bénéficier de mon code de parainnage à mon copain qui a donc pu lui aussi bénéficier d’une course offerte à hauteur de 20 € et me faire gagner 20 € ! Voici donc mon code de parainnage: z8vn5. Rentrez le dans code promo et bénéficiez de 20 € offert sur votre première course Über. Ainsi vous me ferez gagner 10 € à chaque nouveau parainnage.
Le seul petit inconvénient si je devais chipoter est qu’on né peut pas faire de réservation à l’avance, seulement des commandes immédiates.

Si comme moi vous en avez marre des chauffeurs de taxi râleurs, trop bavards, intrusifs, fans d’opéra, dragueurs ou dont le lecteur de carte bleue est en panne (ce qui m’arrive à chaque course ou presque), Über vous offre une alternative de choix.
Via leur application sobre et élégante, vous choisissez votre voiture (berline ou van) et la course qui vous convient. Vous voyagez seul? UberX estime le montant de votre course et vous dépose au point d’arrivée convenu sans mauvaise surprise. Vous souhaitez déposer ou prendre quelqu’un sur votre chemin? Aucun souci. Sélectionnez l’option uberPop.
Ici, pas question de payer en liquide ou par CB, il vous suffit d’entrer vos coordonnées lors de votre enregistrement sur l’application. Le paiement par PayPal est également possible.
Pour ceux ou celles qui seraient intéressé(e)s par l’expérience, voici mon code promo pour bénéficier d’une réduc de 20 euros lors de votre première course: F8gbm.

I have to say while in Paris, I used Über often; it was easy, fast and effortless. The Über app lets you know what type of cars are in the area, I did notice that the UberX wasn’t really available I did go with UberBerline most of the time. And that most drivers were anywhere from 6 minutes to 15 minutes away, plus the add allows you to see who your driver is and well as they see a picture of you.
I used Über a bit while in Paris, the only time I had any issues was when leaving for the airport, I had a driver confirm pick up but then 10 minutes later cancel the trip, but no big deal I found another Über driver and off the airport I went!
If in Pairs and need a lift, give Über a try.
