3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD UBER TONIGHT

Friday night should be fun. But if you find yourself in these situations, Uber your way out!

Worst. Date. Ever.

Your date can't stop talking about themselves and you can't waiting to get out of there. But how you can do this politely?

Towards the end of the night, excuse yourself to the bathroom and order an Uber. Tell your date you have to leave urgently and your friend is coming to pick you.

Why Uber?

They don't feel obligated to have to send you home. You have a quick, easy and kind a way to go. Everyone wins.

 

The Drunk Friend

Everyone has a lightweight friend that needs to go home when everyone is just getting their night started. How can you send your friend home safely yet stay out with everyone else?

Ger your fiend's phone. Order an Uber and have a trip tracker send your friend's ETA to your phone.

Why Uber?

You can see your friend get home in real time. Be a good friend, and still have a good time.

 

No Wallet. No Cash.

It happens. In the excitement of the night, you lose your friends and your wallet in the clubs. You are standed with zero cash and only your phone. Good news is you can still get home with Uber.

Why Uber?

You don't need and ATM or your wallet to Uber home. You can sort out the rest in the morning.
