Before you go
Before you hit “confirm” it’s good for you to understand the price of the trip which is provided by Uber’s fare estimator before you are connected with your driver. We offer various options including our flagship service UberX, our best-priced mobility option Uber Go, with rides starting from R20. If you want to travel in style there is UberBlack in selected cities. When you’re in charge of getting everyone organized for a big trip, the last thing you want is for the ride to arrive without enough space for everyone’s luggage. That’s where our supersized options come in, with options such as uberXL and uberVAN.
An Uber spokesperson commented: “We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic news. Our thoughts and hearts go out to the family. While there is nothing to suggest that this incident is Uber-related, our Law Enforcement Relations Team (LERT) are working closely with local authorities to support their investigation.”
