Hi friends! Rick “Ziggy” Ziegler here with some more ride-sharing news

I’ve got some exciting Uber news for you all this week.

First! Uber can now pick up and drop off at the Las Vegas (McCarran) Airport. You probably all got the email with instructions, but just to re-iterate..

GETTING AN UBER FROM THE AIRPORT

Once you have collected your bags, open the Uber app and select your terminal.

Terminal 1: Head to Level 2M of the public parking garage.

Terminal 3: Head to the Valet Level of the public parking garage.

The two locations listed above are the only places you’ll be able to get picked up by your driver. Your driver will be waiting in the designated Uber pick-up zone.

PRO TIP: Confirm your driver’s name and license plate number match the info in the app.

Second piece of big news…

Uber is dropping its prices by 30%! That’s huge! We’ve been told that this is a temporary reduction for the holidays, but sources say it will be permanent.

Uber questions? Email me at r.ziegler@AccessVegas.com

Uber, Lyft, And Taxi Cabs

Hi friends! Rick “Ziggy” Ziegler here with some more ride-sharing news

Q: Do Vegas Uber drivers get tipped?

A: Some people believe that because this is Las Vegas, that you are obligated to tip the Uber driver. Not true. When it comes to tipping, Uber’s policy is the same everywhere. You are never expected nor required to tip your Uber driver.

I get very few tips, but that’s ok. When I took this job I knew it was a non-tipping platform. Sometimes people will tip a couple dollars. And I’m always grateful.

Q: Is it true that Uber drivers can rate their passengers?

A: Yes. We can rate you from 1 to 5 stars, based on how good of a passenger you are. But in all honesty, I have never had any reason to rate any passenger less than 5 stars. Even the one who got sick on the back of my car.
