UBER Pool – what is it?
It is the cheapest variant of the UBER app; you are transported in a vehicle with other guests, a kind of collective transfer.
How do you recognize your UBER driver?
Before your driver arrives, you can see the driver's name and photo, the vehicle (color, make and model) and the license plate in the app. When you get in just say your name to the driver and he will confirm it, it sometimes happens that people get into the wrong vehicle. Sometimes the driver calls you or sends you a text message. The app sends you a message when the driver is one minute away.
The drivers are usually nice, sometimes hand you water or sweets, and you can ask for a charging cable for your cell phone.
