Re: Uber App: Finding Your Driver

[Craig Werner]

Thanks to all who posted to this thread.  I have passed along all
comments to my friend, and I am sure she now has all the information
she needs to make it easier for her driver and her to find each other.

Re: Uber App: Finding Your Driver

[Wayne Merritt]

The buttons are clearly labeled. To get to them though, you tap
(double tap for VoiceOver users) the bottom of the screen with the
driver's name and car type. That will bring up a screen with your trip
and driver information, along with a button to contact the driver. In
the contact screen, you can hit the call or message buttons for how
you want to contact the driver. I always do this as well with my Uber
trips. A number of drivers have told me via text or later during the
ride that my text helped them find me faster.

You can't, but you can call or text the driver.

Greetings, everyone.

I am posting this requst for help on behalf of a friend who just
installed the Uber app.  She wonders if there is any way that
information can be included somewhere in her Uber application for a
ride taht will allow a driver to find her in the event her GPS does
not give precise information as to her whereabouts.  She worked with a
sighted friend on this problem but could not find any area of Uber in
which to place a comment on her location.  All help is appreciated.

[Craig Werner]

Thank you, Rob.  I don't use the app, so' I didn't know there were "text"
and "call options."  I take it the buttons are clearly labeled, right?

The best thing to do is call or text the driver and tell him where you are.  
You might also indicate that you are blind and he will need to identify himself.
