Uber can be legally used in the cities and from the airports listed above. Each city does have different transport laws around taxis and rideshare services, but if it's listed as an official Uber city there are no issues with using the app there.
Uber recently allowed you to change the payment option to cash. If you use this option, the app on the driver's phone will display the total amount you owe at the end of your trip.
Some Ubers in select cities do have car seats for babies and toddlers, which can be selected at the time of ordering your Uber. However, most cars don't have children's car seats, so if you do require one it may be best to use another mode of transport.
All Ubers let you take a service animal along with you.
If you're bringing a pet that isn't a service animal, it's up to the driver's discretion. Contact your driver as soon as you've been assigned one to ask and cancel it within the grace period if it's not permitted.
If you do bring a pet, Uber encourages you to bring a blanket or sheet for it to sit on so it doesn't shed as a courtesy for the driver and future passengers.
Uber accepts Mastercard, Visa and American Express. You can also attach your Uber account to PayPal.

Can I use my Melbourne Uber App in Sydney & other places?
Hi Bert,
Thanks for your question.
As a passenger, you can use your Uber app in any state or city where Uber operates. But as a driver, you can only use the app or work in the city where you have a license to drive from Uber.
Cheers,

Thanks, Anndy
I just found out about promo codes, I just became a member and have already had 3 trips. I will be using you guys almost every day for the next 4 months, is there anything you can do for me? I have also recommend you to one person so far.
Hi Adam,
Thanks for your inquiry.
We appreciate your continued patronage with us. I would suggest visiting the nearest Uber site and discussing your concern with them. You may also visit their support page at https://support.uber.com.au/
Hope this information helped.

How do I book Uber to pick up a companion slightly off the direct route to our final destination?
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that we are not affiliated with Uber or any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
With picking up a companion from slightly off your route with Uber, you can have this requested directly with the Uber driver once you book in a ride. You can select your main destination then request it with the driver that you’ll be picking up your companion that is just slightly off the route then continue with your destination. Only make sure that it is not out of the way because you will be needing to book a seperate ride for that.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Rench
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for reaching out. Just to confirm though, you have reached finder.com.au, not actually Uber.
In order for any promotional discount to be applied to a trip fare, you must enter the promo code before or during the trip. If you were unable to apply a promo code for this trip, you can contact Uber help directly.
I hope this has helped.

HI,
Are there ubers available to take my family of 5 people to the airport or are ther only standard cars?
How would I ensure that a car will come that can take 5 passengers? I don’t want to be left stranded and miss our plane?
Hi Kierstan,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Normally, the capacity of a standard Uber car is 4 plus the driver but it varies among drivers. For example, 5 people with light luggage might be accommodated by the standard car but as I said, it depends on the driver. To be sure you’ll catch your flight. Please click here and check out Uber SUX and Uber LUX. These cars are bigger and more spacious and will surely accommodate your family.
Hope this information helped.
Cheers,
Arnold
Hi there, I accidentally entered US promotion code and not able to enter one for Perth now. How do I delete the US promotion code, thanks
Hi DM,
Thanks for your question.
It seems that you may no longer be able to delete the US promo code you entered. Usually, the promo code can be used by the time you’re creating an Uber account.
Cheers,

Do you have service from Sidney International airport to Watsons Bay at around 11pm?
Hi Beth,
Thanks for your question.
Uber is a ride-on- demand service with 24/7 reliability at Sydney Airport. You will need to request the ride the moment that you require it so an Uber provider in the area will then pick up the request and make their way to you.
Cheers,
Anndy
