The days of calling for a cab and waiting hours for one seem to be long gone with more convenient services such as Uber and Lyft. The applications can be easily downloaded to any device to make getting transportation as easy as tapping a few buttons. Although other rideshare services may appear, at first, to be the best solution for transportation services in today’s world, there is contention that private transportation companies, like URIDE LLC, are much better, convenient and at times are even more reliable than Uber for getting you and your party to your destination.

URIDE

When you travel to the Tulsa area, you definitely have several options available to you for transportation from the airport to Tulsa and surrounding areas; but before you make your transportation service choice, we wanted to highlight some of the differences between Uber or Lyft, and URIDE.

Get The Most Ride for Your Money

Using the fare estimator provided by Uber will give you an estimated price range for your distance; but there are some additional factors that aren’t taken into consideration until you are already in the vehicle. For example, Uber riders have reported noticing sudden price hikes in times when traffic is deemed to be heavy. This means that your estimated price might be way off for the same distance during traffic jams than in times when traffic is free flowing. At URIDE, our fares don’t change based on the amount of traffic.

Rider Safety Should Be a Top Priority

As surprising as it might sound, personal safety can also be a major concern when using rider apps For example, practically anyone can become a driver for these companies which are not too strict when vetting. The qualifications for becoming a driver for URIDE include:

 •Luxury full size white SUV

 •Full Background Check 

 •Current driver’s license/Rideshare Insurance 

 •5yrs + Driving Experience

URIDE is very strict about our drivers to ensure that they are ethical professionals who wouldn’t exploit clients at any cost.

Airport Transportation Services

Lyft and Uber may not be the most reliable for airport pickups as they often don’t have necessary licenses to be able to pick up passengers from the airport. Additionally, the Rideshare companies aren’t able to guarantee that a driver will be in that area. This would make URIDE the most reliable, and comfortable way to get in and out of the Tulsa airport.

Navigating to Your Location

As noted before, the vetting process is not too strict with Uber or Lyft; which means that some of their drivers may not have access to navigating tools or unfamiliar with directions/city. This can make it difficult to navigate to certain locations, that may be off the beaten path. Our luxury SUV’s are all equipped with navigation systems, and in addition to that, our drivers are familiar with the Tulsa and surrounding areas because they drive these routes often with years of experience.

Group Transportation

If you are traveling with a group of friends; finding a vehicle large enough using Uber or Lyft is hit or miss, and you may wind up having to order multiple vehicles. When you book your transportation reservation with URIDE; you can be sure that our drivers will arrive in a luxury SUV that can accommodate up to 6 passengers per vehicle.

Guaranteed to Arrive On Time

Uber offers its drivers such flexibility that they can log off the system at any time. This is dangerous for customers as a driver may choose to go offline when they urgently need services. Choosing a private company assures you of a ride whenever you need it because you can. MAKE YOUR RESERVATION WITH US 30 MINUTES IN ADVANCE FOR ON-TIME ARRIVAL.
