I know that Uber isn’t new anymore in Sri Lanka, but I went on my First Uber ride recently because I wanted to put together a Review about the service. Then, since I really enjoyed the service, I went on a few more rides, so now I have a very good understanding about the service.
Before I start off my Review, If you’re new to what Uber is, then you should checkout the following video. Then you will get a better Idea about the other things I talk about in my review.
The Uber app was also very nicely built. It worked well and I enjoyed the experience from the time I launched it. They have apps for both Android, iOS and Windows as well.
My first ever Uber ride was fascinating for me mainly because I couldn’t believe a service like Uber is really in Sri Lanka. We are one of the few countries to have the service and that’s awesome. One more interesting thing about Uber is the Coupons that we can earn to get free rides. It is always rewarding to get something back, so this way we could just save a few bucks, and for most Sri Lankans that would be a big thing. This makes more people use the service often, and this keeps the service growing. Unlike TukTuks, this is a more luxury service and that’s why more people use it more and more everyday.
After multiple Uber rides, the best ride I had was in a Suzuki Hustler. I’m not a petrol head but that car and that entire ride was awesome. I got in from Maharagama, and got home (in Moratuwa) after a few stops, and the price was decent. What’s even more great is that you can use the service when you have no cash in your hand, so in an emergency this will be my go to option moving forward. It’s always fancy to get home in an Uber.
The Uber app always keeps you informed about the progress and that’s quite helpful. They email you the receipt and the app keeps track of your rides. At the end of each ride you can review your rider as well.
