Just looked at the Uber app and did not see any current drivers in the area. The closest was in Ocala. There might be drivers in the area but none at this time are available. Hope this helps.

Can someone please explain what exactly Uber is? I know I have lived overseas for a very long time but still this Uber thing seems to have popped up suddenly and is everywhere? I have heard extremely negative things about Uber and good things about Uber and I am confused whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. How do you use them?

Uber works great. Just download the App on your smart phone. Don't use a smart phone I think you are out of luck. Get a car and driver where and when you need one. The fair is based on where you want to go. There are no meters so you know what the cost is up front. This would work great in the Villages for people who don't drive or don't like to dive at night.

I was hoping the answer was yes! Mom can't drive at night and this would be great for her.this is also a great idea for seniors who want to earn some extra money

This is the concept of Uber and Lyft
Concept of Uber and Lyft car-sharing businesses shown in this video. "Nobody's going to ride [taxis] for $45 per ride".......
Before some get all hot under the collar about the competition they pose for taxis, think about this: My friend age 84 was here for a few weeks. When I could not take her to a class at a Regional Rec Center about 7 miles from us in The Villages, the regular taxi fare was going to be $26. Obviously, she did not go. The consumer is hostage to typical taxi rates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jezJzgXkuM |

Would you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor ?

I don't know where you are getting your facts from but UBER drivers are required to have a CDL drivers license, pass a background check, and prove personal liability coverage before getting the UBER job. Once the fare is picked up UBER has Commercial insurance covering its fares up to 1 million liability as well as UI/UIM.
Here is a site to help you understand. https://www.uber.com/driver-jobs |

I would think Uber would work in TV. I thought I saw a post a couple of days ago where a guy in Ocala was starting a Uber business.

Uber is the future. No matter how hard the NYC mayor, or Spanish and French cab drivers try to restrict this new business it will flourish. The cars will drive themselves soon enough. They are working on robotic cars as we speak. So are Apple, Google, Toyota and others. The future is here.
