Ground transportation is an essential part of every traveler’s itnerary. On Irhal we have been listing trains, metros, buses, taxis and car rentals. It is now time to change. The biggest disruption to ground transportation has been caused by a technology upstart that has taken the world by storm. Uber.
Valued at over $40 billion, this 5-years old company is now worth more than double the value of Hertz and Avis combined. Available in 200 cities across 53 countries, Uber is changing the way we travel. In fact, the expression “hailing a taxi” is now becoming a thing of the past. Uber is becoming a verb – “I will Uber to the museum.”
You can download the Uber app and ask for a car to come and pick you from where you are and drop you off where you wish to go. You can also book a return journey. It is convenient and less expensive than taxis (in most countries). The next time you travel you can consider ubering between tourist attractions.
